Notes

Cairn lying immediately w of the scarp formed by alluvial streamworking in the valley bottom. Survives as 4m diam mound standing up to 0.8m high. No sign of robbing. The HER gives a grid reference of SX 5750 7171 - there is nothing at that location and it is most probable that the record refers to the cairn in the photo located at SX 57541 71732.
