The 'cairn cemetery' is undoubtedly the result of stone clearance. It forms part of a widespread pattern of medieval and later cultivation consisting of rig and furrow and fields associated with a large nearby complex of rectangular steadings and enclosures (NT 91 NE 16).
The isolated cairn is larger and may be sepulchral. Surveyed at 6 inch scale. (2)
