Full Description
NC30NW 10 3155 0885.
(NC 3155 0885) A long cairn, oriented NW-SE, lies immediately below chambered cairn NC 30 NW 7. It is trapezoidal on plan, measuring 27.25m in length, 21.5m in breadth and about 1m high at wider SE end and 6.5m across at narrower end, where there is no pronounced mound. Two large earthfast stones stand in a central position within the body of the cairn at its highest end.
J M Howell 1976 (see archive).
This is not a long cairn but a natural swelling situated below rising ground. The two stones in the body of the cairn and a number of boulders around the N end are entirely fortuitous.
Visited by OS (N K B) 23 June 1980.
