Full Description
VN90 (NL623961) Circular stone structure 6.3 m diam. There are clear traces of a raised mound and the perimeter stones look more like building blocks than oblong kerbstones. However, the site has been robbed and badly damaged by rabbit burrows so its original appearance is not clear. We believe this is probably a prehistoric hut but it could be another kerbed cairn (Fig. 2.16).
