Notes

HER: The cleared ground survives as irregular area 30m by 25m defined by natural undisturbed clitter. Within the cleared area is a cairn which measures 6m by 5m and stands up to 0.4m high. This is probably a clearance cairn produced during the clearance of the area. Whilst dating of these features on the basis of surface remains alone is impossible, it is perhaps interesting to note their location midway between two stone alignments. Survey in 2002 suggested this may be a natural feature.
