(NC 572 021) Kerb cairn, c3m diameter, by roadside 150m NE of chambered cairn.
Info from Dr J Close-Brooks, NMAS to OS, 12 May 1980.
At NC 5740 0225, on a slight shelf 60m from the River Shin, this small 'kerb' cairn is well delineated by a peristalith of contiguous boulders. It measures 2.5m diameter and the stone content levels off with the top of the kerb, which varies from 0.3 to 0.6m high; one or two of the kerb stones are loose. Some small field-clearance stones have been thrown on the cairn.
Surveyed at 1:10 000. Visited by OS (J M) 12 June 1981.
