Details The remains of a ring cairn lie on the southern edge of a field containing a field system and hut circles (NJ51SW0025). It is much disturbed but appears to be of two phases. The first is a ring cairn 23m in diameter and 0.5m high, which had an outer kerb of edge-set stones now largely defined by robber trenches and stone holes, bit at least 15 stones remain on the southwest and northwest. A trackway and dyke overly the southeast quadrant, largely destroying that part of the cairn. In the second phase the ring cairn was supplemented by a round cairn, 14m in diameter and now 1m high, built over the central court. This has also been extensively robbed, particularly on the southeast. It comprises a ring cairn 23m in diameter and 0.5m high, The western edge of the kerb is damaged by a farm track and the southeast quadrant has been cut by a trackway and partially built over by a later dyke.
