Full Description
A small circular possible structure was seen during a walkover survey on the Moy Estate in 2012 by Rathmell Archaeology prior to a proposed windfarm development. It may have been a clearance cairn realted to fairly recent farming activities. It was notable for having small-medium bleached field stones visible on the northwestern part of the structure. It was approximately 5m in diameter. <1>
