Notes
"A large cairn now disturbed and partially covered by low vegetation lies in open moorland. Composed of stones and small boulders it is 17.7 metres in diameter and a maximum 1.9 metres high. Spoil has been dumped around the top of the mound from the central excavation pit; three backfilled trenches extend from this central depression. There is no visible evidence of a kerb or cist."References
