BY28: boat shaped stone setting. South cliff-top. A low oval mound, 5.25 x 4.25m, is surmounted by a stone setting of spaced blocks some of which appear displaced. They form no clear structure, but do suggest the elongated cell, 4 x 2.5m of a possible boat-shaped setting. However, this identification is very tentative.
