HU56SW 7 5456 6197.
HU 544 618. The foundation of a small, round cairn, 25' across, which stood on a hill-shoulder at Peightshoose.
J Stewart 1956.
No trace of a cairn at HU 544 618, but at HU 5455 6197 a scatter of loose stones possibly form a circle c.7.0m diameter. This does not appear to be a cairn but may be the foundation referred to by Stewart.
Visited by OS (RL) 22 May 1968.
