Centred NH 3895 3772: A new feature was noted during the watching brief. This had been obscured at the time of the survey. A low clearance heap, which could not be avoided, lay at the base of the natural slope. It was triangular in section and measured about 7.7m by 3.8m by 0.4m at its deepest. The cairn was carefully removed under archaeological supervision although owing to the nature of the material a straight-edged ditching bucket was not used until the stones themselves had been removed. The stones were from 0.1m to 0.3m across. There were no signs of multi-phase clearance or of archaeological features or artefacts.
