Description
A round cairn is located on a south-east facing slope at 470m above OD. The slightly oval, flat-topped stony mound measures
8m (N-S) by 7.1m with a height of about 0.3m. It consists of mixed grade stones consolidated with vegetation. Some loose rubble lies on the east and north. The mound shows some evidence of superficial disturbance and the rim is slightly raised.
From the rim, on the east and north, there protrude a number of upright and leaning slabs, probably the remains of a kerb. In particular, on the east side there are two inward leaning slabs with exposed lengths of 0.7m and widths of 0.5m and 0.6m.
