Archaeology Notes

NC86SW 9 8042 6245.

At NC 8042 6245 on a spur in a westerly slope is a heather covered, round cairn 5.0m diameter by 0.8m high; a kerb is evidenced by an arc of contiguous boulders in the SW, and by occasional, largish stones elsewhere in the periphery. Half way up in the WNW face of the cairn is a stone setting giving a tiered effect.

Surveyed at 1/10,000.

Visited by OS (JM) 15 June 1977
