Full description
Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, 1979, SX66NE67 (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV151623.
A robbed cairn, 7.0m diameter and 0.6m high. Three metres to the nw are the remains of an outer ring of a cairn 5.0m diameter (Typescript Anon Undated).
(25/07/1979). No trace of these cairns could be found. The area is fairly level moorland pasture and it is possible that the reference is to part of the group to the north east (SX66NE/80, SX66NE/115-117).
