NN00NE 4 0872 0801
NN 086 080. This cairn measures 31' by 48' by 3'; it has a clearer kerb than NN00NE 3, and may have an inner setting of large boulders. Some field clearance has been added to it.
A wood between this cairn and the avenue behind the new council houses has some heaps of stones in it, possibly a mixture of cairn material and field clearance.
