Cairn said to have been opened about 1800 and contained
'stone coffin and an entire human skeleton'. (2)

high. It is extensively mutilated, most of the centre having been
removed, leaving the base, with a few large kerbstones, intact.
The remains of three banks of consolidated stone 0.5m high,
radiate from the south side; (see large scale sketch) probably
the result of the excavation or use as a sheep shelter.
Surveyed at 6" scale. (3)
No change to Auth 3.
