There is another cairn SE of No. 1 (i.e. the largest of the "circles " marked on the OS map) which has been of the same type but is even more disturbed. Stones A-H presumably represent the remains of an outer ring of independent stones while J -L, which are laid on edge, may have taken the place of the recumbent stone. All these stones however have been linked by dry walling to make a stell, while a smaller stell (M) has been formed in the interior. The cairn and peristalith have been removed, but the central chamber i s represented by a hollow with three stones on the perimeter. The chamber has no doubt been plundered.
