[NB: Gerrard's grid references for these four cairns are slightly problematic and do not pair well with his plan depiction of the features. This feature has been placed as accurately as possible from a combination of the aerial image, Gerrard's grid reference and plan, but requires ground truthing for confirmation. Richards, A. F., 21/10/2022].
