This record currently relates to a group of five small cairns listed by Butler Map 9.13-17 (SX65155865). The HER/NMR lists one cairn at SX65125869 "A group of granite stones on a low oval mound of earth and stone, 7m x 4m, direction of length ene-wsw (c.50deg. E. Of true n. ). The lower sw part is a group of stones, max. Ht.1.0m, which have the appearance of being man-placed. The remainder of the site is a low mound standing less than 0.5m high, which merges into the hillside at the higher ne end."
