Notes

Ring cairn. Earthwork survives as a circular bank, 3.5m wide and 0.5m high surrounding an internal area measuring 10.7m in diameter. A 2.5m wide gap in the w side of the bank may represent an original entrance. Interior of this cairn is pitted with hollows, which suggest partial robbing or early excavation. Visited 3 June 2022.
