Notes
Butler: The cairn at 7 (8.0 x 1.0 m), 5 m from the field wall and close to a reave, is probably prehistoric. A slight depression in its flat suface suggests it has been dug and a track cutting across the eastern edge has also caused some slight damage. A pile of stones in a similiar relationship to the next reave to the south is more likely to be clearance from the field.HER entry: A turf-covered mound measuring 8.2 by 7.2 by 0.7 metres high. The mound bears some indications of disturbance. It is uncertain whether it is a barrow or the result of more recent field clearance.. Possibly visible on Lidar.
