Full Description
A large granite boulder is situated on a natural rise. It stands 1.2 m high. Some 1.5 m to the northwest is a smaller earthfast boulder and 1.8 m southeast another earthfast boulder. There is not enough evidence to classify this as remains of prehistoric origin but the situation is good for a cairn.
