Full Description
Remains of a cairn comprising a damaged ring of quartzite blocks. The western half of the circumference is outlined by several smallish boulders, but in the northeast segment a scatter of large boulders tends to confuse the course of the circumference. The southeast segment consists of low mounds of small stone, many of them undoubtedly field clearance. A large boulder appears to lie outside the cairn.
