This cairn has suffered mutilation from Victorian excavators (see this pdf and this pdf).
But is noteworthy for the situation which has a wonderful 270 degree vista and the fact that the Victorians did find three cists and two complete urns - one of which was left in situ overnight so that people could view it but thrown aside and shattered by treasure hunters before the excavation was resumed.
