What is recorded here

On the summit of Knockranny, a locally prominent steep-sided hill. This small low circular ring-cairn (overall diam. c. 11m) is defined by a grassy bank externally and a ragged stony scarp internally. There is a narrow gap (Wth 0.5m) at NNW. The interior is slightly dished in profile but it is partially obscured by a modern drystone-built cairn (H 1m; diam. 2.3m) which occupies the centre of the monument. A possible cist (GA057-029001-) is visible in the SSE sector (pers. comm. P. Gosling 2013). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 November 2016
