Description

A grass-covered mound lies on the coast edge and is eroding. Oval in shape, it measures 10m by 5m and stands up to 0.5m high. Stone can be seen protruding from the centre of the mound and further stones are visible in rabbit scrapes on its southern flanks. The coastal section extends for 11m in front of the mound. In it is revealed a concentration of slabs, 0.7m high, which lie in a roughly horizontal fashion. This structure, which would appear to be a cairn, may be an additional element to the group of cairns previously recorded in this area (SY66: HY63NE6).
