SS 8343 5226 Cairn. A cairn situated on a gentle north facing slope of Heather and rough grassland at about 445 Ordnance Datum overlooking Madacombe to the northwest. It is visible as a heather covered mound about 8 metres in diameter and 0.8 metres maximum height. Probing revealed a content of small stones but no kerb was evident. A slight central depression may have been caused by robbing. Found during RCHME field investigation. [1] The grid reference quoted in source [1] is incorrect.
