Notes

HER quoting Greeves: One of two probable prehistoric cairns almost 1.2 kilometres west-north-west of Burnford Farm. A low ring cairn, about 50.0 metres east of the south-east corner of a modern enclosure. A low ring bank survives but this has been cut through on the north side by a ditch running east-west. Maximum external diameter is approximately 15.0 metres.
