Full Description
NC30NW 3 3017 0818.
(NC 30170818) Cairn (NR) OS 6"map, (1967)
A probable chambered cairn, 13.0m in diameter and 2.4m in maximum height, partly ruined on the south and SE but otherwise undisturbed and grass-grown. Two large slabs are visible on the south side, neither at nor leading to the centre and behind them to the NW is a cavity with a side slab and lintel just visible. Other large slabs lie about. The cairn seems to have been chambered but the present remains are impossible to interpret.
Surveyed at 1:10 560.
