Notes
HER: Two circular cairns and an ovoid cairn lie within an enclosure, forming part of a cairnfield on Homerton Hill. The two circular mounds measure 4 metres and 6.3 metres in diameter and stand up to 0.4 metres and 0.7 metres high respectively. The larger mound has a central hollow, measuring 2.3 etresm by 1.2 metres by 0.15 metres deep, suggesting that it has been robbed or partially excavated. A length of lynchet measuring 1 metre wide and 0.3 metres high leads from the large cairn to a nearby ring cairn. The ovoid cairn is aligned east-west and measures 4.7 metres by 2.3 metres by 0.4 metres high.References
