A complex ring-cairn. Partial excavation of the SW quadrant in 1978-9 revealed that the cairn had been enclosed in a circle of sandstone slabs 21.8m in diameter. Only 5 of these remain. A 3m wide x 0.7m stoney bank surrounded this circle and within it was a low penannular cairn of heavy boulders capped with small angular pieces of red sandstone over which modern dumping of stones had occurred when the track was cut through the N part of the cairn.

A Burl 1977; 1980.
