Monument record 12211 - LEWIS, TOM UIDEVAL

NB23NE 68 252 3608

NB 2525 3608 Two sub-peat stone settings in the form of two mounds 4.5m apart. The larger mound, 3.7 x 2.5m, has about 30 visible stones up to 0.6m long, some piled on top of others (?two courses) to a height of 0.6m above the underlying till. As peat cutting proceeds it is emerging from a 0.8-0.95m deep peat bank. The smaller mound, 2 x 2m, has 12 visible stones piled to a height of 0.65m. All peat has been cut around it.
The location is in the upper part of a peat bank 110m NW of the Pentland Road and 60m N of the E corner of a large quarry. There are other sub-peat settings about 300m to the SE ( Curtis and Curtis 1995, 110).
