Notes
Butler SSE cairn 5. This is south of the track. Butler in the description refers to one cairn south of the track but lists two (also cairn 6). Two appear on Map 30. One of the two listed in his table of cairns is marked as excavated by the DEC, the other is not. "Yet another small cairn accompanied by some rubble banks lies closer to the river to the south-east" (to the se of the other SSE group). The author looked for this cairn on 27th May 2022 and was unable to find it. NMR SX 54517823 Butler SX 54487825References
