NH68NE 38 6824 8602.
This alleged burial cairn at NH 6824 8602 is as described above. It is heather-covered, and situated on a false crest on the margins of an area of field clearance. The mound is larger than any of the clearance heaps, but it lacks any of the structural features which would enable certain classification as a cairn, and is therefore most likely also to be the result of clearance.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (J B) 16 February 1980.
