Notes

"A barrow lying between Puper’s Rock and Inner Pupers. A low circular mound lying on fairly level ground in an area of turf and heather, visible due to the difference in heather growth on the mound. The mound is flat topped, measuring 0.5 meters high and 4.5 meters in diameter north-south, but only 3.0 meters east-west. There is a well-defined kerbstone concealed by heather and probing of the mound shows it to have been stone built. At the centre a cavity extends downwards beside a flat slab of stone set on edge around 0.6 meters long, lying east-west, which may represent the remains of a cist."

The author visited this on 13 July 2024 and there is indeed a clear cavity into this cairn.
