Notes

" A robbed cairn 50m SW of the ruinous former Hooten Wheals Mine offices on the S flank of Down Ridge. The turf covered stony mound is circular with a diameter of 8.0m and stands 0.75m high. A square hollow 1.6m wide, probably the result of an unrecorded excavation, lies centrally in the mound with a spoil heap on its NW margin."
