Notes

"Formerly identified and scheduled in the 1990s as a cairn (one of a group of three), this was re-assessed during 2005 survey work. Identified as former tin pits that have been reoccupied by the military in the more recent past."

Author visited 19/02/2023. I'm inclined to agree with the HER assessment. Now listed as a "reported cairn".
