What is recorded here

On a slight rise in farmland. This roughly circular flat-topped cairn (base diam. c. 9m; top 5m; H c. 1.25m) is built of grassed-over stones. According to the landowner, it is ‘modern’ but it covers four stone slabs. McCaffrey (1952, 19, no. 32a) noted that in a depression (L c. 3m; Wth 1.8m; D 0.8m) in its centre, a stone (L 1.2m; H 0.7m) set on edge was indicative of the ‘remains of a plundered cist or chamber’.
