On the moor a short distance south of the summit of Lothian Edge, which forms the northern boundary of the Dunbar Common, and about half a mile west of the cart track to Friar dykes, at an elevation of between 1000 and 1100 feet above sea level, is a group of three cairns and a hut circle. The hut circle, which is slightly hollow in the centre, is very indistinct but measures 15 feet in diameter internally. About 100 yards to the south-west are the remains of what looks like a pillaged cairn, 12 feet wide. Stones from it have been used to form an erection, now broken down, on the summit. Some 40 yards to south-west of the latter is a second cairn 12 feet in diameter and rising 1 ½ feet in height. Almost on the summit of the slope, about 200 yards north-east of the hut circle, is the third cairn, 9 feet in diameter and rising only 6 inches above the surrounding level. On the top are many loose stones, which measure up to 14 inches in length.
