Full Description

A rough pile of football-sized boulders forms a clearance cairn, 10m inside the boundary dyke of Feature 3 (above). The cairn measures 10m x 4m and is 1m high, and trends downslope. At its lower end, a fallen tree has exposed several pieces of 19th Century china of more than one teacup (Plate 2), which has fallen into the spaces between the boulders in the cairn. <1>
