HU25SE 25 2798 5352.
There is a cairn of bare stones, c.10.0m in diameter at HU 2798 5352, on a shelf in a SE slope c.100ft OD. Its perimeter is obscured by peat growth but the occasional kerb stone can be seen. An earthfast, upright slab in the centre is probably the remains of a cist or chamber, but further evidence is obscured by tumble.
Visited by OS(NKB) 16th June 1968.
