Some 200yds NE of Old Crawfordton (NX 815 888) is the site of a large circular cairn, of which little more than a surrounding fringe of stone remains. (See NX88NW 2)

RCAHMS 1920, visited 1912

Corrie (doubtless referring to the same feature) describes an enclosure, on the S side of the River Cairn, about 1/8 mile E of Old Crawfordton. It measures 66ft in diameter within a well-defined circular rampart of earth and stone now only 2ft high. an opening to the S probably marks an entrance. The central area, apart from slight heaps of stone, is flat. (see NX88NW 2)
