Notes

The cist is set in a definite cairn with a retaining kerb within the cairn. May have been confused with cairn to the south; MDV8744.

Formerly listed here as Shapley Common 4 but renamed as clearly a duplicate of Grimslake Cist (MDV8744). The description of the cist and cairn are almost identical in the HER record MDV8755. The only significant difference is the grid reference which is approx 250m to the North on Shapley Common. The grid reference is wrong, it is a duplicate.
