What is recorded here
Situated in level pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of 6-inch map. Described by a archaeological fieldworker in 1981 (SMR (1989) file) as 'a small flat-topped irregular-shaped mound some 7m in diameter and 70cm high'. Although grass-covered some stone was visible. The fieldworker believed that it may have been 'no more than a clearance cairn'. The site has since been levelled and there are no remains now visible at ground level.
