Comments 
Grinsell lists this as a cist in his Table III with GR 6664 7657, but does not mention this in his List B. His grid reference differs from that of Turner, who does not mention a cist. SMR ref is 666 765. 
There is a hut circle near these grid references.

Comments 
Two sides only, in cairn circle. Not visible in 1890. Discovered in 1902, when human hair was found. The N end stone was made of small stones, while the S was just a blocking stone. Probably modern interference.
