Notes
Update 31/12/2022: This record was previously associated with HER record MDV52476 which has been deleted. This record has now been linked to MDV5578 and the NGRs updated accordingly.HER: Cairn of 4 metres diameter by up to 0.7 metres high forming part of a cairnfield on Homerton Hill. A shallow central hollow, 0.7 metres by 0.4 metres by 0.1 metres deep, suggests robbing or partial early excavation. 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 area
