Notes
HER: this cairn forms the westernmost mound in a cairnfield. Measures 5m in diam and stands up to 0.4m high. The s part of the mound has seen limited damage, probably as a result of partial robbing and the core of large stones is therefore exposed. This cairn may contain burials, but the mound does form part of a group which most likely represent stone clearance connected with cultivation of the areaReferences
