Full Description

G80 (NF674039) Curving platform with kerb of large blocks of stone, overlain by modern road. If the curve of the kerb formed a complete circle it would be 9 - 10 m in diameter. In a different location we would identify this as a kerbed cairn, but here on a bend in the road it seems more likely to be a recent structure built to support the road itself.
