Full Description
NL69NW 111 6243 9586
VN82: A two-phase monument, with a kerbed cairn, heavily robbed out to provide building stone for an oval hut c.6.5 x5.5m. This structure itself is much destroyed and embedded, and it is possible that both structures are perhistoric.
NMRS MS/595/11 p.4

The cairn is about 8m in diameter, the kerb partly surviving on the south, east and north sides. The stone and turf hut is c. 6.5 x 5.5m, with a possible entrance on the north.
