A cairn, 9.8m in diameter and 0.4m high, showing the remains of a cist, which serves as a boundary mark.

A cairn, 10m by 9.0m and 1.1m high, has been damaged by forestry ploughing and pierced by a hole recently dug into its E flank.

Described as ‘a disturbed mass of stones’, 9.1m in diameter and 0.4m high. Possible cist elements have been reported and two modern cairns have been constructed upon it. The cairn serves as a boundary marker.
