Notes
"The western of two round cairns on the northern slope of Metheral Hill. This heather and grass covered mound measures 5.0 meters in diameter, height 0.65 meters. An edge set stone on the southern edge of the mound may indicate a kerb. This cairn is located 171 degrees from east boundary stone and 173 degrees from the western boundary stone."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.
