Notes

A cairn lies on the SW facing slope E of the Scout Hut . It measures 5.0m in diameter and 0.5m high with a hollow in its S side. The form, location and relationship of all the cairns in this area is suggestive of clearance activity in the medieval or later periods. Radcliffe notes: "A possible endslab, noticed by WJR 19/5/2002 ". There is a typo in the grid reference. The NMR gives both SX58206734 & 58206743. Butler gives SX58206742. The HER gives SX58206734, probably taken from NMR. This cairn is also described in NMR 1237842 (a fourth cairn ...).
