Cairn at SK21398477. This one is described by EH as flat topped and sub-rectangular, which is just about visible when you see it but there is also supposed to be a narrow low platform 9m long and 2.5m wide extending from the SSW side. I looked but couldn’t find it.

Cairn at SK215847. The large stone is part of a kerb of the cairn which is to the upper right. The white stones look like a makeshift grouse butt.

Cairn within a cairn at SK208848. The small pile of stones in the foreground may be a secondary burial in the bank of what could be a heavily robbed round cairn but in fact looks very much like a damaged ring cairn of about 20 metres in diameter.
