Full description

National Trust, 1998, The National Trust Sites and Monuments Record. Compressed Site Reports. Lundy. SMR Sites Nos 108000-108150 (Report - non-specific). SDV344688.

Two small cairn remnants lie on a natural east-west alignment. On the south slope much of the soil is thin, if not exposed bedrock, but the north end does have a natural build up of soil. Lying at each end are two small mounds probably resulting from field clearance, but these are poorly defined. A very degraded site. After the 1996 field visit, it was decided that this site was more the appearance of a rock outcrop due to thins soils with some field clearance. Other details: 108023.
