Full Description

G93 (NF671040) Megalithic structure on rocky knoll. Several large stones are set on edge, and there are other smaller blocks embedded nearby. The stones are set in the much-reduced remains of a cairn that appears to be D-shaped rather than circular, with the two largest blocks set along the eastern straight side of the D. This appears to be a heeled-cairn of Shetland type.
