Full Description

A field clearance cairn, apparently not previously recorded, which was noted during a walkover survey in 2011. It measures approximately 5m by 2.7m. <1>

This feature was again identified during a watching brief on scrub clearance that took place in 2012. The report notes that the feature's morphology is also reminiscent of a collapsed gable of a rectangular building. <2>
