Notes
Long cairn - formerly thought to be two separate cairns. Pet 25 & Pet 26 (HER 4163 & 12793). This record is marked as a duplicate for that reason see: See SiteID=1201 HER(4163) for coverage. The photo above is the eastern section of the long cairn.The grid reference for this record is a Garmin reading of the eastern section taken on 25/07/2026. The author is currently treating this feature as part of a long cairn - however if the author is persuaded otherwise it will be reinstated as a non-duplicate round cairn.
