I suppose this is one of the seven cists excavated in 1929-30. No kinda consolidation afterwards by the looks of things.

The Cairn sits atop a gravelly, sandy, grassy knoll above the right bank of the River Tweed. On the left side of the picket fence, river erosion has removed the rest of the cairn.
