Full Description
Large grass-covered mound with less than football-sized rounded boulders visible. It measures 15 x 8, is 1m high and trends 144 degrees. It has an undulating upper surface and 2 possible ‘tattie pits’ or excavations in its S end. As it is more extensive and of a different style to the others clearance cairns in the proximity, it is possible that this may be an earlier, Bronze Age cairn, unconnected to, or maybe added to during, the pre-clearance period. <1>
