Notes

The remains of a disturbed turf-covered cairn. The monument measures 10.5 by 8.5 metres and stands to a height of 0.75 metres. The cairn shows signs of disturbance as a shallow hollow slightly west of centre and a possible spoil heap lies nearby.

UPDATE: 28/12/24. This entry had previously been linked incorrectly to details of a round house a little distance away - photo and grid reference was incorrect. Now linked to correct HER entry.
