Full Description
NC26SW 1 2085 6208.
(NC 2085 6208) Cairn (NR)
OS 6"map, (1962)
NC 2085 6208. Approximately 60m E of the track leading to Sandwood is a heather-covered round cairn, 9m in diameter and 1m high, composed of small stones. Though similar in appearance, it is distinct from the decayed peat mounds which are plentiful in the area N of this.
Visited by A L F Rivet (Asst Archaeol Officer) 7 April 1960.
This alleged cairn is generally as described by Rivet. It is situated in aposition of no prominence in featureless moorland. The only apparent difference between it and the other mounds in the area is a collection of stones on its summit. As no other stones were seen on the mound, it can be suggested that the stones on the summit are a later addition to an otherwise natural mound.
Visited by OS (JB) 27 June 1980.
