Site Description

A stone cairn, probably originally 13 m in diameter. A 1 m high pile of relatively small stone, 0.15 m by 0.2 m by 0.3 m average stone size. Occasional large stones around the circumference suggest that there may once have been a curb. The south east edge is disturbed by the construction of a sheepfold (NPRN 501027). The center is also disturbed by a hole 1.8 m by 1.4 m in size, 0.8 m deep.
