TheCaptain visited on 20th Sep 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 From MD4 I head back to the main trackway, where my attention is drawn to a couple of large stones laying just off the trackway to the right. I wonder if this was once a cairn with a few kerbstones. I look at the portal again, and see a cup marked stone somewhere around here, and wonder if it is that? No, its not that, which is marked further to the north. Thinking back now home, three weeks later and having got the old plan in front of me, I wonder if this is the remains of MD3. Unlike me, I did not take or keep any pictures of this, probably convinced that there was nothing of any ancient importance at this place! Doh!

Anne T visited on 28th Jun 2014 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 After visiting the Cop Stone, we walked up to the Cairn Circle (which is clearly visible from the footpath). Whilst ruined, it's atmospheric. The more I sat on the edge of the cairn and looked round, the more there is to see. I'd like to go round with someone who knows this area better than I, so I can understand it better. [Note: I originally confused this with Moor Divock 4, the cairn circle and small stone row just to the north. Looking back on my photographs, I could find no evidence of this feature on the ground].

Described as being "50 yards to the north of these remains [Moor Divock 2] and about forty yards from a township boundary stone standing by the side of the roadway, there are relics of what has evidently been a small stone circle and cairn about 11 feet in diameter. Some of the stones may be fixed and in situ, but it is difficult to judge how many are so placed, for it is manifest that the place has been rifled in a very rude manner, and several of the larger stones have been dislodged, and the smaller stones forming the pavement of the cairn have been scattered about, whilst there is still remaining the de-pression in the centre, where the digging had been carried on."
