Description
A possible feature identified on aerial photography on the eastern highpoint of the Island which when inspected on the ground by P. Brewers as part of his 1992 survey of the island was described as a ring-shaped rise with a few stones forming a partial circle and identified as a possible cairn. W. Condry writing about the Island in 1961 remarked that he had found a `tumulus? at this point.
