Full Description
SU 184:
This small kerbed cairn measures 2.7 metres in diameter and consists of a kerb of low orthostatic stones and a single larger erratic boulder on the south side. Within its interior and to the west is a spread of smaller boulders.
Interpretation: This feature may represent a genuine prehistoric kerb cairn or may be the remains of a later, disused, navigation cairn used for coastal navigation.
Impact Detail: This structure falls within 20 metres of the adjusted road line for car access to the causeway.
