NO15NW 15 1013 5707.
(NO 101 570) NE of the Grey Cairn (NO15NW 1) amongst the small cairns is a circular structure 18' across defined by an external circle of large stones; 6' within and parallel to the outer, is an inner wall of large blocks. A trench from the NE towards the centre showed a rough pavement, several large flattish flags, and great quantities of quartz pebbles.
Source: J Stuart 1868
Of this circular structure at NO 1013 5707, several stones of the outer circle are visible giving an overall measurement of 6.5m. Some of the blocks of the inner circle are displaed but the excavated central space has measured about 3.0m in diameter. The interspace is filled with peat-covered rubble stones. The mutilated NE segment is apparently due to Stuart's excavation. Classification uncertain, but possibly an unusually small ring cairn.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
