Description
A small cairn lies to the immediate east side of a track running along the ridge of Rhossili Down.
The cairn is a circular stony mound measuring 4m across and 0.2m high, overgrown with heather. Although there are several ritual/sepulchral monuments in the vicinity the proximity of an enclosure bank close by on the east suggests the mound had a function in stone clearance.
