Full Description
Remains of possible cairn. A slight swelling in the ground marked by darker coloured grass is all that remains of this site. In the centre of the area is a long depression due to trenching. On a vertical aerial photograph there is a light, roughly circular area visible in the vicinity of the site. There is also another to the south which appears to have two pits within it. In 2001 a watching brief was carried out in advance of the installation of a pipeline. No archaeological features were evident.
