Summary
Cairn apparently recorded by Worth (1948); this area contains many old workings and turf tyes and was thoroughly searched by the Ordnance Survey recorder in 1950, but no trace of the alleged cairn could be found. A return visit in 1977 also failed to locate any such feature. Unlikely monument.
