A possible ring-cairn is situated 35m WNW of the ring-cairn NO89SW 9; it is oval measuring 7.5m from NW to SE by 6.7m transversely and 0.5m in height, and there is a hollow 3m in diameter at its centre. Several possible kerbstones are visible around the perimeter, but there is no trace of an inner kerb and it may be a robbed round cairn.
