Description

The site was visited in June 1952. The three monuments were said to have been totally destroyed. The site of 'A' is apparent as it has been used as a quarry in building a rough cairn immediately north of the trig. pillar. Tumuli 'B' and 'C' could not be found as they had been completely razed and their stones scattered.
