Notes
Cairn west of the Butterdon Hill stone row; 5 metres in diameter. May be medieval or later feature, rather than prehistoric. See also site 1768 which has a very simimilar appearance and is 100 m due east of this cairn. The HER grid reference closely matches the location in this record. Butler lists one such cairn which he refers to as beign closr to the stone row - so probably the other one.References
