NR37SE 1 3668 7016.

(NR 3668 7016) Possible Cairn.

Information from RCAHMS.

On a hill summit is a loose spread of fragmented stone surmounted by a modern cairn, 1.3m high by 2.3m diameter. This stony spread measures 11.0m NE-SW by 7.0m transversely by 0.4m high and is partly heather-covered; living rock shows in the content and the SE edge lies along rock outcrop. There are no traces of a kerb or cist. A prehistoric origin is highly unlikely and it is probably natural.

Modern cairn surveyed at 1:10,000.

Visited by OS (JM) 20 June 1978.
