Full Description

A low, almost teardrop-shaped, cairn (12m by 6m by 0.3m high) is bisected on low- lying ground by the coastal fence c. 35m SE of its intersection with field bank V87. The cairn has a heather-covered, relatively level surface, and appears to be composed of small stones. Its carefully constructed nature suggests that it is some kind of platform.
