With hindsight I'm delighted to have spotted this one as I cycled past but, not fully trusting my intuition, etc., I took only the one photo from the roadside. The location is good. Being at the highest point in the pass on what we might assume was a major east-west trade / travel route (and later a Roman road), it would once have made a very considerable visual impact.
From Pastscape:
"Cairn said to have been opened about 1800 and contained
'stone coffin and an entire human skeleton'.
The cairn is approximately 29.0m diameter, and was formerly 1.6m
high. It is extensively mutilated, most of the centre having been
removed, leaving the base, with a few large kerbstones, intact."
Monument no. 44830
