Notes
This site originates with Butler but is not listed elsewhere. A mound can be seen on Lidar imagery at SX 53073 86276 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". This was previously listed as a "reported cairn", this has now been updated to "cairn". It looks a genuine site to the author. 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.References
