(NX 3377 6245) Cairn (NR).
OS 6" map (1957)
A large circular cairn, about 70' in diameter, so much robbed that it is very doubtful that the interment remains undisturbed.
RCAHMS 1912, visited 1911
On a small knoll in undulating ground is a cairn surviving as a grass-covered stony mound measuring 27.0m N-S, 23.0m E-W and 1.8m high. Although the centre has been partially robbed the burial is probably intact.
Resurveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (TRG) 6 July 1976
