(9) A standing stone and unclassified megalithic structure located 4m apart on the N slopes of the valley. The standing stone is 1.49m high x 1.27m wide (NE-SW), and its SE face bears 2 doubtful cup-marks. A packing stone is visible at its SW side. The megalithic structure [KE042-132010-], measuring c. 2.3m N-S x 1.4m E-W, is defined along its W side by 2 upright slabs, 1.29m and .77m high, and on its S side by a .7m high slab which tilts markedly to SW. Also at the S end, partly embedded in the ground, is what appears to be either a capstone or displaced orthostat. Beyond the NW end of the site is a prostrate slab now for the most part buried. It is not possible to classify the structure from a surface examination alone, but it may represent some form of grave. (Fig. 12)
