Archaeology Notes

NH91NW 6 9081 1548.

(NH 9078 1547) Within 30 yards to the S of Grenish stone circle (NH91NW 5) is a low barrow 18' diameter enclosed by a circle of small stones. It is one of several in the neighbourhood most of which have been disturbed.

A Macbain 1885.

At NH 9081 1548 on a rise is a heather-covered mound of stones, c.6.8m in diameter and c.0.5m in height, the centre of which is disturbed. There is no trace of a kerb and it is uncertain whether this is a cairn, or a clearance heap associated with NH91NW 2, although its circular plan and position suggest a cairn.

Visited by OS (RL) 14 November 1966 and (NKB) 29 September 1969.
