Visit Notes

Sunday, 7th October 2007

This cairn is located in the field below the chambered cairn. It is about twice the diameter of its more interesting neighbour, but it is sadly as neglected. It is hidden by gorse bushes and brambles and its centre is used as a storage area for plastic-wrapped feed bales.

It has been greatly robbed away and reaches no more than 1.5m above the field level.
