Field Visit (19 March 1993)
At the edge of an improved field to the E of Midtown there are three large recent clearance heaps composed of boulders. There is nothing to suggest that they are of antiquity.

'A' Long Cairn. 34 ft by 21 ft by 4 ft high. Aligned East-West.
'B' Long Cairn. 28 ft by 17 ft by 4 1/2 ft high. Aligned North-South. 'C' possible denuded long cairn 40 ft by 18 ft. Aligned East-West.
All have been used as field clearance dumps but seem to be, with the possible exception of 'C', authentic prehistoric cairns.
