NT03SE 27 0650 3402.
A cairn is situated on the crest of a low knoll within the palisaded enclosure described on NT03SE 11. It measures 30ft in diameter and stands 2ft in height, but its appearance has been marred by quarrying.
RCAHMS 1967, visited March 1960
This stony mound has been too mutilated by cultivation to identify it positively as a burial cairn, and may only be field clearance.
Visited by OS 11 August 1972.
