Notes
Butler: "The pit with a surrounding bank is also probably the remains of a robbed cairn". Visited 3 June 2022 ans 28/04/23. Butler suggests this pit is probably part of bronze age cairn. He could be right. Lake Viaduct can be seen from this location. A few hundred metres to the north on Lake Down there are some pits which are gun dug-outs overlooking the then railway over the viaduct. This pit doesn't look so modern and regular but it is quite overgrown.References
