![]() Southeast entrance (centre left) with stones and arc of the eastern bank beneath the tree. Jan 2008 |
I've seen pictures of this site taken
during the winter or early spring and the ring of rubble and inset stones are
clearly visible. However when I visited in the autumn of 2007 it proved very difficult
to make out the features with only a couple of larger stones visible through the
thick layer of bracken blanketing the site. Adding to this difficulty is the fact
that the ring
cairn is further west than the OS map shows it. There seems to be little information
available about this cairn but it is said to have an outer diameter of around
14 metres with a pair of entrances to the southeast and northwest. |
