Archaeology Notes

NC50NE 47 5838 0525

(NC 5838 0525) Possible cairn noted.

Visited by OS (A A) 8 June 1971.

This feature is a circular stony mound, overgrown with heather, situated on the summit of a low morainic ridge within a minor field system (See NC50NE 28). It measures about 7.0m in diameter and 0.7m high, with no kerb or cist visible. It is indistinguishable from three stone clearance heaps immediately to the east, and presumably served a similar purpose. Visited by OS (N K B) 27 July 1976.
