What is recorded here

Situated on a level terrace in pasture on a SW-facing hill-slope. This is a much disturbed subcircular grass-grown cairn (TN033-058) measuring 8m NW-SE by 7m NE-SW by about 0.5m high. An orthostatic structure is partially exposed at about the centre but it is very difficult to examine. It seems best interpreted as two conjoined cists aligned NNW-SSE. The more northerly and larger example measures about 1.8m long and 0.5m wide and is represented by three stones at the E, one at the W, an endstone at the N and another at the S which separates the two cists. The smaller cist is 0.6m long and 0.5m wide. As well as the endstone it shares with the larger cist, it is represented by one stone at the W and an endstone at the S. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
