Disgrifiad
An extensive cairnfield is located on the SW-facing slopes of Cefn Drum. This is the southernmost of two groups of small cairns.
The other group lies some 250m to the north-east (NPRN 91823).
The cairns are round/oval/linear or otherwise irregularly-shaped stony mounds, resulting from field clearance, varying in size from 2.5m across to 9m across and rising to 0.4m high. They are more-or-less consolidated with light vegetation, being one or more of heather, bracken, grasses and mosses. The group includes, at SN 60900403, a small ring feature in the form of a heavily overgrown, mainly earthen, ring bank measuring 1m wide and 0.5m high with a narrow gap on the SW; it measures 2.5m internally.
See detailed site record for fuller description of cairns.
The proximity of house platforms, rectangular buildings and field banks suggests a contemporary, i.e. Medieval, date for the cairns.
