What is recorded here

In a heavily overgrown area of rough pasture, on the S-facing slopes of a ridge, with views S to Mangerton Mountain. A roughly circular mound (diam. 3.1m; H 0.6m) of both limestone and sandstone stones of assorted sizes. Another cairn (KE067-119007-) is c. 6m to the NNE. Partial excavation in 2001 revealed that the stone cairn was deliberately set over a pit (diam. c. 2m) and no finds were recovered (O'Donnell 2003, 160).
