Notes
"The westernmost cairn of a group of three set close together. Mound measures 11.9 metres in diameter and stands up to 0.9 metres high. A stone kerb composed of small boulders defines the outer edge of the mound. A hollow in the centre of the mound and a trench cut into the western side are probably the result of the nineteenth-century partial excavation." See DEC Report 6 1899. NMR A - see also 439759
