NY 0553 9893. A probable burial cairn occupies the crest of a N- facing slope. It measures 8.0m in overall diameter, is 1.2m high on the N side, and turf-covered. Elsewhere, on this raised undulating hillslope at approximately 244m OD four amorphous stone spreads were found, but they are too scattered and ill-defined to be classified.
