NJ14SE 14 1645 4206.

Surmounting a rise at NJ 1645 4206 is a robbed cairn, surviving as a flat-topped turf-covered mound, measuring 14.0m N-S by about 16.0m transversely and c.1.1m high. A few kerb-stones are visible in the N and S, but the W and E arcs are obscured by modern field clearance. It is locally thought to be the remains of a chapel. Near the centre of the cairn is a partially buried prostrate rectangular block c.1.2m by c.0.6m bearing at least twenty cup-marks.

Surveyed at 1/2500.

Visited by OS (A A) 4 March 1971.
