Description
A cairn, 9.5m in diameter and 0.9m high, that was interpreted, from excavation in 1940, as a ringcairn subsequently converted into a barrow, however it is noted that there are no surface indications of a ringcairn and the features noted in 1940 may have all belonged to the round cairn. Two cremations were found in pits, at the centre of the cairn, and to the NE, the latter pit contained material diagnostic of a Middle BA date.
A stone circle (Nprn92064) is set c.25m to the E.
