Full Description
Anna Welti visited area with J Kenworthy. Mound identified under (modern) fence to cottages at Corry, suggested might be barrow. <1>
This site was visited during a walkover survey in May 2009. It is described as a low, spread, grass and rush covered mound half within the garden of Corry Cottage and crossed by the boundary fence. It does not appear to consist of stones although there are stones sitting on the surface, including a roofing slab. The rushes suggest a moisture-retentive soil and this is as likely to be a domestic midden mound as any type of cairn. <2>
