Full Description
Urns and possible site of cairn. The site is a knoll of upheaved conglomerate, quarried into on the West side. There are no traces of any building or pile of stones but it would be a good position for a cairn. Two urns, one inverted and the other upright, were reportedly found within 1m of each other at a depth of circa 2.43m. They were broken by the workmen who discovered them.
