Full Description

Clearance Cairn.
A 3m diameter and 1m high peat mound, set on a 10 degrees E-sloping grass, sedge and heather-covered hillside, 70m to the NNW of the building remains of Feature 216 (below), and outwith the head dyke of Feature 184 (above). There is a single small stone visible in its construction. It is unsure whether this is a natural feature or an isolated clearance cairn; no other related features were observed in its proximity. <1>
