(c) Cairn: This low cairn of stones is roughly triangular in plan and measures 3.7m N-S x 4.3m E-W x .35m in height. It is partly revetted with drystone facing up to .35m high. At the E edge of the cairn, 2 parallel upright slabs, .58 and .55m high, stand .62m apart at right angles to the line of the cairn edge. About 2.4m SE of the cairn, another pair of slabs, .75m high, stand parallel to each other about 1.85m apart; their function is unknown. Two of the pre-bog field walls radiate out from the apexes of the cairn at S and E.
