What is recorded here

Situated in a wet hollow area of marshy land in upland region with higher ground to E. Large circular possible pond barrow (DG096-031) enclosed by a heather covered drystone wall with low roughly rectangular shaped flat-topped drystone cairn (H 0.5m; dims. 3.5m x 2m) or leacht type feature located in the centre of the interior. Local tradition asserts that this was the burial site of warriors killed in an ancient battle and that the low carn may be a monument to this local tradition (pers. comm. S O'Beirne).
