Notes
Butler describes a cairn-like structure within the enclosure wall of Pound A. "A small cairn-like erection 3.5 m across projecting into the interior from the outer wall was probably a style support for access into the pound". Viewing Pound A in Google earth and comparing with Butler's diagram Fig. 59 gives a location of SX 55931 63491.References
