Full Description
NB43NE 4 4518 3868.
NB 4518 3868 On the top of a low rise are the remains of a roughly circular cairn, largely grass-covered but with cairn material exposed in the centre where it has been hollowed by robbing. Its diameter is approx. 40ft and maximum height 4ft. No large slabs are visible, but its proximity to Dunan (NB43NE 1) makes it probable that this too was chambered.
Visited by OS (A L F R) 20 April 1964.
