Description
The cairn is located on a heap of a disused quarry, on a ridge. The circular cairn is constructed of small easily-portable stones forming a dense pile and measures 2m diameter and 2m high. The cairn has been built out of waste material, which has been stacked tidily. In profile it tapers sharply, forming a distinct point at the top. The ground cover was bilberry at the time of survey.
