Full Description
Cairn, depicted on the OS 1st and 2nd edition maps as site of a cairn. The OS Name Book (1867) recorded that nothing is known of this cairn except the site, on a small eminence, and the name of which no explanation is given. OS found no trace in 1973, but on examination of aerial photographs in 1999, a large circular thin trace was noted in the same area which probably represents the site of the cairn.
