Full Description

A walkover survey in July 2009 revealed a cairn measuring 2m in diameter and up to 0.4m high consisting of large stones. The report notes that the numerous cairns identified during the survey are undated but may be prehistoric. <1>

From the photographs the cairn is roughly square and seems to have been deliberately constructed. <2>
