Full Description
Two earthfast stones, measuring 0.9m by 0.7m by 1m high and 0.9m by 0.3m by 0.9m high, stand on a low knoll amongst recently windblown conifers. Another small stone lies 8.4m to S. The area between the stones has a high stone content, and the site may represent all that remains of a cairn; the two larger stones possibly being portal stones of a chambered cairn.
The knoll has been cleared of trees and brash by the Forestry Commission.
