Notes
HER: Cairn of 10 metres diameter by 0.4 metres high within cairn cemetery on the south-west side of White Hill. A central hollow 3 metres long by 2.5 metres wide by 0.3 metres deep is probably the result of the 1888 excavation which revealed a pan or basin containing ashes and charcoalReferences
