Archaeology Notes

NX15NW 46 1432 5972.

A cairn is situated within an area of small cairns (NX15NW 49) on rough ground 450m N of the abandoned farmhouse at Old Hall and 35m WSW of the S corner of a field of improved pasture. It measures about 11m in diameter by 0.6m in height, but it has been dug into for stone.

The bank of a small enclosure overrides the edge of the cairn on the NNW, and a second bank runs away to the corner of the modern dyke on the E. Both banks appear to have been constructed after the cairn had been quarried for stone.

RCAHMS 1987, visited (SH) 28 April 1986.
