Description
Situated on a level terrace in pasture on a SW-facing hill-slope. This is a much disturbed subcircular grrass-grown cairn measuring 8m NW-SE by 7m NE-SW by about 0.5m high. An orthostatic structure is partially exposed at about the centre but it is very difficult to examine. It seems best interpreted as two conjoined cists (TN033-058001) aligned NNW-SSE. The more northerly and larger example measures about 1.8m long and 0.5m wide and is represented by three stones at the E, one at the W, an end-stone at the N and another at the S which separates the two cists. The smaller cist is 0.6m long and 0.5m wide. As well as the end-stone it shares with the larger cist, it is represented by one stone at the W and an end-stone at the S. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
