Full Description
Site of enclosure or cairn, described by the OS Name Book (1870) as a small enclosure of earth and stones. Though location would be suitable for a cairn there is nothing on surface to indicate any surviving remains. Its description suggests that it may have been similar to the cairn OS NJ85NE005. However on a vertical aerial photographs taken in 1977 there appears to be a very low, slightly raised bank of a circular feature visible. On an other photo taken in 1988 there also appears to be a very faint trace of a circular feature still surviving at this location though more as a crop mark.
