Full Description
A 126 (NF726014) An embedded ring of seven visible stone blocks forming a kerb around a low turfed mound 4.5 m in diameter. The regularity of the ring, its size and the apparent care with which the blocks are laid suggest this might be a kerbed cairn, but the area inside the kerb is almost flat and this perhaps points to nothing more than a platform, possibly as the stand for a hay rick.
