Full Description
Remains of banks, and a possible cairn. Low banks divide up an area of land. One of these, circa 1m high and spread to circa 2m may be an old boundary bank, as it is visible on an early estate map. The others, circa 0.4m high, may be some form of land division, or enclosures, as they are too widely spaced to be rigs. A possible cairn abuts the boundary bank. Local tradition claims it to be the burial cairn where one of three sisters was hunted down and killed. Forestry ploughing has caused some damage to both the cairn and banks.
