Notes

Round cairn. Diameter 6.4 metres, height 1 metre. Cist 0.6 metres wide, oriented north-south. Central pit 1.5 metres by 1.1 metres by 0.25 meters deep. Situated on downslope edge of a natural terrace. Three edge set stones lying parallel to each other are exposed in the central pit. The two eastern ones may represent the edges of a cist with a length or width of 0.6 metres. A number of edge set stones around the edge represent a kerb. Gorse covered. NOTE: NMR gives location as SX 6519 8978.

The overgrown feature in the photo from 17/03/2025 is possibly this feature but it is a considerable distance from the NMR grid reference. That is located at SX 65203 89798
