‘Cairn A’ is much as described in 1980. Immedately S of the cairn is a semi-circular enclosure. 100m E of the cairn is a group of three clearance cairns and 20m NW is a single clearance cairn.
‘Cairn B’ is much as described in 1911. The enclosure wall is 2m wide and comprises a double line of orthostats with rubble infill. It does not survive to the N. The width of the wall and the orthost and rubble construction style suggests that this might be a small - possibly unfinished - homesttead enclosure. There is a shallow hollow in the NE interior and two further hollows to the E and just outside the projected arc of the enclosure wall; these hollows may be borrow pits associated with construction and maintenance of the adjacent trackway.
