Full Description

VN92 (NL622960) A flat platform 2.5 m diam. Enclosed by a kerb of stones set on edge. This is not identical to the kerbed cairns in this area in that there is no suggestion of a mound, and the 'kerb' is orthostatic. A sheep wall runs up to it from the west and we believe that the wall and the circular platform are probably broadly contemporary. Unknown purpose.
