HU27NE 18 2804 7555.
At HU 2804 7557 at the N end of a low ridge, are the remains of a cairn measuring 7.0m NE-SW by 5.5m NW-SE and 0.6m high. It has been severely mutilated, and its pre- cise shape cannot be interpreted, but the position of several well-set kerb-stones on the S and E sides suggest a flattening of the SE segment. Within the cairn are two earthfast blocks and several displaced slabs suggest- ing the remains of a chamber. D.A.P. survey.
