Description

A cairnfield comprising at least 12 stone piles lies on the W-facing slope of a ridge.
Eleven of the piles form a roughly linear group (from SW to NE), with an outlier some distance to the SE. They are generally of irregular shape and variable size, without visible structure. The largest measures 8m by 4m with a height of 0.4m. The SW end of the group is marked by a short bank (which may be no more than a linear pile). It measures 10m long, 1m wide and 0.3m high. It trends roughly N-S and disappears into boggy ground which flanks the site on the NE.
