Full Description
NG35NE 7 3949 5668.
(NG 3949 5668) On moorland about 7/8 mile N of Kingsburgh and some 700 yards ESE of a broch (NG35NE 10), over-looking the S bank of the River Hinnisdal, at a height of about 150ft OD, is a circle of stones and small slabs set on edge, measuring about 15ft in diameter internally. It is more likely a denuded cairn (Similar to NG45SW 16) than a hut circle. RCAHMS 1928.
This is almost certainly a ruined cairn, the kerb only of which survives.
Visited by OS (A C) 4 August 1961.
NGR corrected to position on OS MasterMap from NG 3949 5668 [IS-L 20/01/2017].
