Description | The English Heritage description for this scheduled area includes a cairnfield and other carved rocks that are all included under the same SAM number. The description (taken from the English Heritage Scheduled Monument Record for SAM no 25410 06/10/1995) is as follows; The monument includes a cairnfield (PRN 7203) containing a ring cairn (PRN 7204), a disturbed round barrow (PRN 7205), a field system (PRN 7206) and at least 25 carved rocks (PRN 7202). The cairnfield occupies most of Low Plain, north of Dobrudden caravan park. It consists of at least 19 small cairns with diameters in the range of 3m to 5m, an excavated ring cairn of c.10m diameter, and a disturbed round barrow of c.18m diameter. Excavation of the ring cairn in the 19th century produced an urn containing cremated human remains. The field system is visible as a series of low stoney banks, predominantly orientated approximately north west to south east. It includes one circular bank, c.5m diameter, which may be a hut circle. The banks are generally low and broad, typically 0.3m or less in height and up to 3m wide. The carved rocks are all in the cup and ring tradition, though designs consisting of mainly cup marks predominate. The carved rocks are concentrated in the western half of the cairnfield. NB. English heritage noted that there were 25 carved rocks in this area, however, there are only currently (2005) records for 20 of these. |
