Oval mound 66 x 39ft, 5 ft high, turfed, many stones
exposed. On crest, 4 slabs on end show 1ft above surface; they
are in pairs at a distance of 16ft apart, the members of each
pair 3ft apart. Suggests a chambered cairn. [R1]
Turfed mound, rectangular, with rounded corners, 70ft E-W x
40ft x 5ft high, has a well defined edge but this is greater in
extent than the construction it covers, for what appears to be a
short length of facing wall is exposed 5ft within edge on S side.
Top of mound has been removed and some upright slabs exposed in
centre. These slabs are aligned at right angles to main axis and
are evidently stall-slabs. 5 stones on N side, 3 on S. Short
length of N wall-face of chamber visible. [R2]
