Notes

Greeves quoted on HER: One of two probable prehistoric cairns close by the highest piece of rough ground almost 1.5 kilometres west-north-west of Burnford Farm. This, the most westerly cairn lies immediately east of the south-east corner of a modern enclosure. It appears to have been heavily robbed on its north side and cut through by an east-west ditch on the south. Original maximum diameter approximately 20.0 metres.
