Information from OS recorder (CJP) 7 May 1956.
A much mutilated cairn with an approximate diameter of 8.0m. The height was indeterminable owing to later additions from field clearance. This may not have been a burial cairn, since heaps of stones have been set up as boundary marks.

No change to the previous field report. This feature is not considered to be an antiquity.
