Notes

Formerly listed here as Taw Marsh S.6. After clearing out duplicates this would make the 4th entry so changed to Taw Marsh S.4. The author was unable find this feature on 11/10/2024 but the HER seems to indicate 4 "boundary cairns" and this is roughly located in line with the other 3. So may well exist.

"Cairn forming part of a cairnfield 380 metres south-west of a ford on the Small Brook. Measures 3 metres in diameter, height 0.8 metres. Gorse, grass and bilberry. Animal poaching on southern edge of mound."
