Full Description

25
NB 1945 4451 55 metres O.D.
Cairn
Unlike the cainrs formed on the summits of the peaks surrounding Garenin this cairn appears to be of some antiquity being partially buried in the peat and measuring 1.5 metres by 1.0 metre. Sitting on a low mound this collection of stone may represent a much larger collection of stones buried under the peat.
Field walking on 4/7/94.

Burgess 1995, 48.
