We passed this way after a visit to Wolf Pit barrow (25.4.2010). What we took to be the southern cairn has been exposed by fire and reveals the remains of a kerb, as well as one very large stone on the northern side of the monument. There's little trace of any mound however.

The northern monument is a decent stone and earthwork round cairn, about 5m in diameter with an excavation hollow in the top.
