Notes

This site originates with Butler but is not listed elsewhere. A mound can be seen on Lidar imagery at SX 53098 86249 which matches the location given by Butler. Butler: "two smaller and much pitted cairns 5 and 6 m across lie close to the field wall." Visited 3 June 2022. This was previously listed as a "reported cairn", this has now been updated to "cairn". It looks a genuine site to the author. NGR and photo updated after visit 28 April 2023. The Great Nodden Cairns 1-3 are not listed on the HER but there is an entry for the field system which states "May include some cairns, which presumably may be clearance cairns". See HER record Field system south of Nodden Gate MDV27320.
