Summary
Small stone cairn situated on the summit of the Foreland, at the E end of the small group of relict fields. The cairn is about 6m in diameter. It is possibly from field clearance, but the location suggests a probable prehistoric burial. Unfortunately the stones have been moved by walkers to create a small conical stone mound on the cairn.
