OS 25" map (1962)
At NT 0182 7372 are the remains of a turf-covered cairn 10 - 11m in diameter and 1.5m in height. Around its perimeter is a kerb of small boulders, of which 12 are visible, all but forming a circle. A small modern cairn surmounts the older cairn, which is apparently constructed of stones.
