Full Description

An eroding cairn 3m wide and 0.5m high, lies on the summit of a coastal knoll which is being undercut and eroded by rabbit burrowing. The exposed E-W section through this feature shows a careful construcion using upright boulders; no internal deposits were identified. It is likely to be more than a clearance cairn, as several other intact examples are recorded in the area.
