Full Description
Remains of possible cairn recorded during a walkover survey in July 2025 ahead of proposed woodland creation (NJ50SE0173). The possible cairn survives as large stones, some cairn material, and a possible cist chamber (1.4 m by 1.1m), to circa 3.7 m in diameter and up to 1.2 m high. The site is in poor condition and is obscured by natural stones in the vicinity, trees to the south of the site, and a later boundary wall, therefore the overall shape and size of the possible cairn could not be ascertained.
