Notes
Doubtful "a heather covered mound slightly to the n of the large cairn on the summit of water hill. It measures 5.1m in diam and up to 0.6m high with one recumbent granite boulder visible on its s side. It is apparently composed of earth and stone". This record formerly linked to MDV54619 which has presumably been deleted as a duplicate.Visited by author on a few occasions and not recorded due to doubt about identification. The raised area in the photo is the only possible candidate for Butler's satellite cairn.
