Full Description
Site of cairn, possibly Clava type. The boundary was marked by a ring of larger stones which appeared to have been robbed. There was a circular chamber in the centre, but no trace of a passage. The floor had been disturbed but contained a primary, partly burnt cremation burial. There were 12 fragments of flat rim ware in upper layer of ashes plus pieces of fractured white quartz. Now no trace and no local knowledge.
