Archaeology Notes

NC30NW 3 3017 0818.

(NC 30170818) Cairn (NR)

OS 6"map, (1967)

A probable chambered cairn, 13.0m in diameter and 2.4m in maximum height, partly ruined on the south and SE but otherwise undisturbed and grass-grown. Two large slabs are visible on the south side, neither at nor leading to the centre and behind them to the NW is a cavity with a side slab and lintel just visible. Other large slabs lie about. The cairn seems to have been chambered but the present remains are impossible to interpret.

Surveyed at 1:10 560.

A S Henshall 1963; Visited by OS (W D J) 4 April 1963.

Visited by OS (J B) 23 September 1976.
