Archaeology Notes

NJ40SE 18 4671 0403

See also NJ40SE 17.

At NJ 4671 0403, c. 50.0m NW of Blue Cairn (NJ40SE 16), there is a circular, turf-covered, stony mound, c. 12.5m diameter and 0.5m high, with its centre hollowed.

It is similar to several stone clearance heaps in the area, but its much larger size and prominent position on the hill top suggest that it is probably a burial cairn.

Surveyed at 1/2500.

Visited by OS (A A) 20 November 1968.
