Full Description
NF77SE 10 7943 7050.
A steep-sided, turf-covered, oval stony mound, 47ft WNW-ESE by 35ft across and about 12ft high. Slabs and upright stones suggest the entrance to a chamber, but this does not appear to lead to the centre of the mound. Beveridge notes a wall at the east base. Foundations of a circular shieling surmount the mound; and others with enclosures lie on the downhill side and probably account for a tail of stony material which runs off in that direction.
