Description
The cairn was subject to partial excavation in August 2013, as part of an attempt to determine the status of the small group of regularly placed stones to the east of the circle, thought to represent a continuation of the stone row (MSO7924). The cairn was noted to be covered in a buried soil, with a paved area created around the structure at a later stage.
