Full Description
Several cairns were said to have been removed from the area circa 1845. Densely planted trees prevented OS any further investigation of the area. However, an area of cairns has been revealed after clearing wind-blown trees in 2007, the full extent of which is unknown. They are low, grass-covered cairns and vary in size up to circa 4-5 m in diameter.
