Full description

In 1977, Johnson located a small low mound of stones at this location, which he suggested could be a small cairn (h1). In 1984, the RCHM surveyor visited the site and found an amorphous spread of stone and peat approximately 7.0m in diameter and 0.15m high. This could not be positively identified as a cairn and may only be an area of surface disturbance. Not surveyed (h2).
