Full Description

MY202 (NL55298280) Cairn.
Location: Carnan hill summit, 273 m.
Description: Oval, 5.5 x 4.5 m, double circle of set ring stones forming solid flat cairn around the modern trig. point 273 OK. There are other scattered stones. Although there may be some modern displacement and probably additional material recently collected here around the survey point, there is a high probability that the core of an ancient cairn was used for the emplacement of the marker.
