Information from OS revisor, October 1983.
(Location cited as NO 8232 8053: nominated as Site of Regional Significance). This long cairn has been reduced by robbing to no more than a rim of cairn material; it was originally mis-identified (on the evidence of air photography) as an enclosure.
[Air photographic imagery listed].

Field Visit (April 1982)
Bruxie Hill NO 823 805 NO88SW
This long cairn is situated on the NE flank of Bruxie Hill about 370m NNE of the Television Link Station on the summit. Robbing has reduced it to a rim of cairn material 0.8m high which measures 35m from E to W by 12m at the Wend and 20m at the E. To the E of the cairn there are several piles of stones, but they appear to be recent.
