Notes
HER: A scattered group of stone clearance cairns visible as amorphous heaps of various sizes composed of portable granite stones and boulders. Probably clearance of post medieval origin. The cairns which are up to 2.5m in diameter and 0.3m high are spread randomly across a fairly steep SW-facing hillslope. They lie amidst broad linear bands of exposed clitter and shallow erosion gullies; few well-worn paths cut through these linear features.References
