Notes
Butler: Identity of this "structure is uncertain, a circular stony bank surounding a slightly raised but uneven interior .. it also is likely tobe a badly damaged burial mound"The author took this photo on 22/09/2024. Is it remains of a round house? There are none listed on the HER directly at this location and there are also no cairns listed here. Butler does list a cairn near to this grid reference so maybe this is the feature that Butler observed.
