NG 2175 5992. Upon a rocky knoll at the end of Ardmore Point, just over 100ft OD, there is the remains of a turf-covered cairn.
It measures 9.3m in diameter, 0.5m in height and is contained within a kerb of small stones. In the centre is a small pile of stones covering an Admiralty trig station and to the N are two earth-fast boulders.
The size of this cairn and the presence of a kerb suggest that it is an antiquity and not the site of an early trigonometrical station.
