Notes
This entry originates from Butler at SX 5417 7446. Previously this entry had been associated with a mound at SX 54115 74445 (photo and grid reference). On 14/10/24 the author visited this location with Steve Szypko and we concluded this was a misidentification. The photo above and the grid reference have been updated to the correct feature referred to by Butler. The second photo here is of the feature previously recorded as this cairn (photo 14/09/2020) at SX 54115 74445. It is possible they are both cairns.The HER grid reference is SX 54130 74460
