A cairn, the term for a mound of stones typically raised in prehistoric times to mark a burial or significant place in the landscape, was recorded here as recently as 1991. At that point it was still a recognisable feature: roughly circular, about eight metres across at its base and a metre in height, built of rubble stone. Today, nothing of it can be seen at ground level.

The cairn does not appear on any edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, which suggests it was either too modest to be thought worth recording by nineteenth-century surveyors, or that its deterioration was already well advanced by then. When it was formally noted in 1991, its condition was described from existing survey files dating to 1989. Since then, even those modest remains have gone. What persists is subtler: aerial photography reveals the faint circular outline of a small enclosure on the ground surface, roughly matching the dimensions of the cairn as recorded. This kind of cropmark or soil disturbance, visible only from above, is often all that survives when a stone feature has been gradually robbed out or simply dispersed by agricultural activity over generations. Whether this faint ring genuinely traces the outer edge of the denuded cairn remains a matter of interpretation rather than certainty.
