Notes

(greeves + robinson) prehistoric long cairn 16m long, 6.50m width (max), 1m high (highest at ne end). Small rectangular depression in ne end and stone slab set on edge at sw end. Composed mostly of small stone, covered with gorse and is disturbed by track at sw end. The author attempted to find this feature on 18/07/2025 and the area is covered with very dense and high gorse making it extremely difficult to access or see any potential features. Is the grid reference wrong? Looking at Lidar data the HER grid reference of SX 6518 8149 is close. It can clearly be seen on lidar at SX 65193 81487 which is 13 metres from the HER grid reference. The gird reference has been updated on this record to the Lidar feature. A screengrab of the lidar data imagery is included here with the feature highlighted.
