Field Visit (October 1975)
NS 992 304. There is a cairn, situated some 800m W of enclosure NT03SW 10, on the crest of a steep-sided spur (335m OD) projecting W from Lamington Hill. It has been severely denuded by stone-robbing to provide material for a nearby boundary wall, and now appears as a roughly circular, grass-covered, stony mound measuring about 8.5m in diameter and 0.6m in maximum height.
