Full Description

NC 5874 5829. Cairn, 9m in diameter.
Information contained in letter from T C Welsh to OS, 23 July 1973

No cairn was found at or in the vicinity of the above map reference. Visited by OS (JM) 30 August 1978

This survey found no such monument at the above grid reference. This is in agreement with one of the entries in the NMRS from the last OS surveyor (JM) to visit this site in 1978. It should be noted that that same surveyor also has an entry in the NMRS from a week after the first stating that the cairn was located, which agrees with the 1971 OS (AA) entry concerning this monument. Unless the cairn was mistaken by this survey with the clearance noted in No 48 above (in which case the NMRS grid reference is wrong) there was no trace of this monument noted. <1>
