Full Description

Cairn.
A prominent, single, pink granite stone, measuring 0.7m x 0.1m x 0.25m high, resembles an unmarked headstone, set in burned heather-covered, gently SE-sloping hillside, just 13m to the SW of the S corner of the farmstead of Feature 206 (above). The stone is orientated towards 020 degrees, i.e. fairly close to N-S, indicating that any associated 'grave' would be lying fairly close to W-E. <1>
