Full Description

VS34 (NL629941) An almost circular grassed cairn, 5.7 x 5.3 m diam., with nine stones visible set around the perimeter. These appear to be well-embedded and in situ. In the west quadrant a stone set upright protrudes from the cairn; in view of the results of the excavation of cairn VS4B (see chapter 5) this stone may also be in situ. Prehistoric kerbed cairn.
