Notes
Hut circle or cairn? Radcliffe: "Grinsell lists this as a cist in his Table III with GR 6664 7657, but does not mention this in his List B. His grid reference differs from that of Turner, who does not mention a cist. SMR ref is 666 765. There is a hut circle near these grid references."It is possible SiteID=2638 is a duplicate of SiteID=2562. Both now point to the same HER record, so presumably the HER have concluded they are the same feature.
