Notes
"A probable ring cairn situated on a slight NW slope. At least eight tin pits occur immediately to the E and S, and modern small stone clearance heaps are visible everywhere. The circular turf-covered stony bank is 12.2m in overall diameter, 2.0m wide and on average 0.4m high; a few stones protrude through the turf but there is no obvious trace of a kerb, slabs or boulders. Two or three modern clearance heaps lie on the bank and a gap on the N side with an adjacent corresponding pile of spoil is probably a recent mutilation" The photo shows one of the heaps on the bank which can just be seen.References
