Details	Remains of a ring cairn, one of a group of four. The cairn measures 3.9m in diameter, and is 0.4m high. The inner kerb appears to have been rebuilt, probably following partial excavation in 1964-5. No finds are recorded from this excavation. Surrounding the ring cairn is a stone circle measuring 17m in diameter, its nine surviving stones ranging from 0.7m to 1m in height. Many stones were taken away to build the sheepfold which crosses its east side.
