Full Description
(NC 3888 6640) Cairn (NR) OS 6"map, (1962)
The remains of a cairn, 12.5m in diameter and 1.2m high, now turf-covered and considerably mutilated. The footings of a small house encroach on the E side.
Visited by OS (J L D) 8 April 1960.
Some 20m to the NE is another mound, 9.0m in diameter and about 1.0m high, which shows some stone content; possibly a cairn.
Surveyed at 1:2500. Visited by OS (I S S) 23 July 1971.
The cairn published by the OS is as described by OS field surveyor (J L D). The mound to the NE is heather-covered, contrasting sharply with the turf mantle of the cairn, and though some stone is apparent in its content, it cannot be classified with certainty as a cairn, and it may even be a natural accumulation.
Visited by OS (N K B) 28 May 1980.
