Notes
"Abutting the west side of a double stone row is a circular depression 2m diameter, 0.2m deep. Perimeter lined with small earthfast slabs. It appears to be the kerb of a destroyed cairn or less probably an inner ring of orthostats of a larger now flat cairn which must then be partly overlaid by the stone row."References
