Notes
Márkus 2012, 257 notes: 'It is not listed as a monument on Canmore, nor does it appear on the earlier editions of the OS maps ... but appears on the second revision 1:2,500 map ... and on OS 6 inch 2nd revision (1900-1949). In the absence of any earlier evidence of the name, it may be that it is a twentieth-century coinging'.
