Notes
"Cairn survives as a 4.5 metre diameter mound up to 0.5 metres high. The western edge is denoted by a kerb of edge set slabs up to 1.15 metres high. The eastern edge is beneath a later boundary bank. A cist in the centre is a rectangular pit 1.2 metres by 0.5 metres denoted by edge set slabs". Butler Stannon Newtake E. - Vol. 2. Map 35.21 (diagram p.168). Visited again by the author 18/07/2025 and quite overgrown - the outer kerb can be seen but the cist is covered by vegetation. Breton p.45.Plan R.H Worth Barrow Report 57
