OS Map: SX 56082 90546
NMR: No record found
HER record: MDV52474
ShortName: CN Homerton 5
Notes: "this cairn forms the westernmost mound in a cairnfield. Measures 5m in diam and stands up to 0.4m high. The s part of the mound has seen limited damage, probably as a result of partial robbing and the core of large stones is therefore exposed. This cairn may contain burials, but the mound does form part of a group which most likely represent stone clearance connected with cultivation of the area"

Notes: Butler Homerton Hill N. Vol. 2. Map 43.15 (diagram Vol. 5. p.177). "A small, disturbed cairn containing three edge set stones of a cist ... The turf covered cairn measures 3.5 x 3.1m and 0.3m max. height. The top and north side of the mound has been disturbed exposing the three in situ cist stones. The cist measures 0.8 x 0.6m and 0.3mdeep. It is now open to the north. A large stone lying flush with the ground lies immediately north east of the cairn and probably represents the missing endstone or the coverstone". Lethbridge diagram p.156 and photos p157.
