Tow cairns, 50 yards apart. One is egg-shaped, with three legs of a roofless portal dolmen in the east end, which contained four cremated bodies and some Late Stone Age/ Early Bronze Age pottery and a glass bead. The west end contained Early Bronze Age burials (c. 1500 B.C), and many centuries later a furnace was placed beside the north end of the cairn. The other cairn was round in shape and had four box-like graves in the eastern part of the cairn containing Stone Age pottery, and one later burial belonging to the early centuries of the Christian era.
