Description
NAR SJ24SW13

This is a ruined circular cairn, a pile of partially grass grown stones 8.0m in diameter and 0.6m high. On the north side is what appears to be a subdivided cist or chamber, with a possible capstone. It is likely that the cairn has been excavated or otherwise disturbed.

OAN Site visit 2002/06/12/PJS. OAN field survey, located by GPS to an accuracy of +/- 1m. The cairn is constructed of moderate-highly compacted small-medium sized angular scree stones, partially covered in grass. The stones are exposed all around the top where it is possibly excavated. It has a cist of medium sized angular slab like stones within the northern portion of the cairn that are still upright.
