Full Description
Remains of a cairn, an artificial mound of earth and stone, traditionally said to have been seat of justice. When surveyed by the OS in 1971 it measured about 18m in diameter and 0.8m in height, although the farmer reported that mound was nearly all stones, a quantity of which he had removed over the years.
