NR 803 637. A cairn, 53' in diameter, with two concentric kerbs 18' and 27' from the centre, is situated on the S slope of the hill. It is 14' high on W, 8' on E, owing to ground slope. Trees grow on it, but there is no sign of opening. A small pile of stones 15' NW seems artificial.

NR 8029 6346. This cairn is generally as described, although fallen trees and vegetation obscure the alleged kerbs. An amorphous scatter of stones around a rock outcrop to the N is probably clearance.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.

NR 8030 6347. This cairn is almost completely covered by bracken, small trees and felled timber, making a thorough examination difficult. Its edge, however, is fairly well defined but no extent of kerbing can be seen. A slight berm, suggestive of a Wessex-type bell cairn is discernible on the SE and NW sides but this does not appear elsewhere and is probably fortuitous. No inner kerb can be distinguished.
Surveyed at 1/10,000.
Visited by OS (BS) 9 March 1977.
