Notes
Round cairn. Mound measures 8.5 metres north-south by 7 metres east-west and stands up to 1.1 metres high. Two separate hollows dug into the mound suggest partial early excavation or robbing. A post medieval boundary stone lies at the west-south-west foot of the mound and may have once stood upright on the cairn.References
