Notes

HER: About 220 metres north-north-west of Grinsell's Shaugh Prior No.2, a low poorly defined heather covered cairn. Diameter circa 10 metres, height 0.5 metres.. There are many peat stacks in the area which make reidentification of the cairn difficult.

The NGR is estimated from the description. Could be a duplicate of HER 13176
