NH 3892 3762 and NH 3891 3762: A roughly oval clearance cairn, about 7.5m by 4.4m. The new road was diverted around its southern edge leaving a buffer of approximately 2m.

A second clearance cairn to the NW was found on investigation to be considerably larger (c.23m N/S by c.14.5m E/W) than previously recorded, much of it lying just below the topsoil. It comprises a large number of stones, most between 0.15m and 0.5m, spread along the eastern slope of a small water course, the bed of which was also stony, but with a higher proportion of small stones. The top 0.3m of the feature was removed by

the groundworks; at least as much again survives below formation level. It is possible that it represents more than one phase of clearance.
