Notes
"Sub-circular in shape, measures 6m in diameter and stands up to 1.2m high. May contain burials, but it is also part of the nearby cairnfield which represents stone clearance connected with cultivation of the area" . The HER entries MDV61981 (now deleted) and MDV50578 refer to the same site. Lake Down 14 (SiteID=3218) which originally had same grid reference has now beenmarked as a duplicate record.References
