Notes
The eastern of two round cairns on the north slope of Metheral Hill. This heather and grass-covered cairn measures 8.0 meters in diameter, height 0.9 meters and has not been robbed. There are a couple of stones protruding. This cairn lies 185.5 degrees from the eastern of the nearby boundary stones and 193.5 degrees from the western one. The second cairn is 280 degrees and 40.5 meters from this one.Located by the author on 11/10/2024. This pair of cairns are both around 30m to the east of the grid reference on the HER but separated by the same distance.
