Notes
HER: Oval cairn, 16 metres by 14 metres and 0.6 metres high. The central area (11 metres to 13 metres diameter) is very disturbed, with a small, off centre mound 0.6 metres high. The cairn has a rim 1.5 metres wide and 0.5 metres high, with a south-west facing gap, 2 metres wide. There is a single orthostat set into the rim on its east arc. Butler: Originally an outer bank seems to have surrounded a raised interior but this has become badly disordered and further damage has been caused to the edges by the well worn tracks approaching uphill from the ford across the MardleReferences
