(NM 8365 3946) Cairn (NR)

OS 1:10,000 map, (1975)

Near the north end of a rocky ridge, about 365 metres SW of the cairn NM83NW 1, is a largely turf-covered cairn measuring 14.6 metres in diameter and 1.4 metres in height. No kerb stones are visible, but in the SW quadrant a long thin slab measuring 1 metre by 0.4 metres, and 0.15 metres in thickness protrudes above the cairn material. It is clearly dislodged, and may have formed part of a cist.
