The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating, hilly pasture, located on the S-facing slope of an esker. Included in the 1996 RMP as cairns on the basis of information from a local source. At this location there are several irregular heaps of stone (Diam. 2-5m; H 0.4m), four of which occur in a rough E–W line on the slope, with two others are located at the base of the slope. They appear to be field clearance cairns of no great antiquity.
