NH91NW 6 9081 1548.
(NH 9078 1547) Within 30 yards to the S of Grenish stone circle (NH91NW 5) is a low barrow 18' diameter enclosed by a circle of small stones. It is one of several in the neighbourhood most of which have been disturbed.
A Macbain 1885.
At NH 9081 1548 on a rise is a heather-covered mound of stones, c.6.8m in diameter and c.0.5m in height, the centre of which is disturbed. There is no trace of a kerb and it is uncertain whether this is a cairn, or a clearance heap associated with NH91NW 2, although its circular plan and position suggest a cairn.
Visited by OS (R L) 14 November 1966 and (N K B) 29 September 1969.
