NH91SW 4 943 144.
Centred at NH 943 144 is a field system marked by stone clearance heaps, and an occasional lynchet.
Near its E edge at NH 9462 1445 are the last remnants of a cairn c. 7.0m in diameter, which has been robbed to its base. No trace of a cist. A kerb of contiguous stones survives around the S half.
Some 30 metres to the SW at NH 9460 1443 are the vestiges of another in an even worse state of preservation. It measures c. 5.7m in diameter. One or two large stones around the perimeter may be what is left of a kerb.
Surveyed at 1/10,000.
