Archaeology Notes

NC30NW 9 3140 0909.

(NC 3140 0909) A chambered cairn, situated on the same ridge as

NC30NW 8, at about 610ft OD. Most of the cairn material has been robbed and only an amorphous outline can be planned. Orthostats defining the passage can be seen and some kerb stones remain.

J M Howell 1976 (see archive).

This is not a chambered cairn but a natural deposit of boulders and living rock situated on sloping ground at the base of a rocky spur.

Visited by OS (N K B) 23 June 1980.
