Full description
Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, 1980, SX57SE4 (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV143299.
SX 5690 7025: Remains of stone circle containing a cairn (Breton, undated).
(25/06/1980) There is no trace of a cairn at the place indicated by Breton, whose field work was mainly in the 1920's and 1930's. The site is now afforested, but with no signs of stone clearance in the vicinity and it may be that he was referring to the hut circle 40 metres to the north (SX 57 SE 86).
