Full Description
NH68NE 30 6820 8589.
At NH 6820 8589 prominently situated one spur is a stony mound about 5.5m in diameter and about 0.3m high. Its top has been disturbed but no structure is exposed. It is possible that this is a clearance heap, but its position suggests it is a cairn.
Visited by OS (A A) 2 November 1970.
About 65 metres to the N on a false crest, are the scant remains of a stony mound c. 11.0m in diameter. It has been quarried away leaving a scatter of heather grown debris within a slight rim. To the E of centre are two earthfast conglomerate slabs, one facing N-S and the other E-W, which may represent a portal stone and a side slab of a chamber otherwise destroyed.
Visited by OS (A A) 23 June 1975.
