Description
NAR SO01SE17
Four cairns and three dubious smaller mounds. With one exception they are aligned N-S about 130m long on the broad crest of a slight swelling on the moor. They measure between 3.4m and 5.8m across with heights of up to 0.3m.
They have been thought to be sepulchral in origin (see NMR file) and indeed are associated with what appears to be a ring cairn (see NPRN 300944).

Visited by CAP during Upland Survey, 2003. No further comments.
