Arran, North Sannox

About 23m [sic] to the SE of the chambered cairn [NS04NW 25] is a circular enclosure of unstructured stones, 23.7m overall diameter. The ?wall is 4.5m broad and the entrance is to the S where there are several conglomerate blocks and one pointed fallen stone. Stone founds disturbed by tree roots lie within this circle and one area has a short length of rough upstanding kerbing. This appears to be the hollowed-out remains of another cairn put to different uses at a later date. There is another possible, very despoiled, cairn to the SE, with trees planted along what may have been the chamber, orientated E.

NS 0111 4676 - Dun. In conifer woodland, on slightly sloping ground at OD 74m, lie the remains of a dun, which has not been respected by the planting. It appears as a "D" shape measuring 14.0m by 14.0m internally. The reduced walls spread to a maximum of 5.0m in the west and in the southeast the tumble extends a further 4.0m downhill.
