Notes

A small cairn attached to the side of a reave oriented E to W (see SX 57 NW 85), and situated on a slight slope on Cudlipptown Down. It measures 2.8m N to S by 2.5m and is 0.5m high. It is composed of medium sized stones (up to 0.2m diameter) now partly turf-covered.

Formerly marked as a duplicate of White Tor N.W.3 MDV28516 but that has a grid reference 300 metres away so probably an error. It is now presumed to be a separate unique feature.
