Full Description
NF86SW 13 8321 6298.
A conspicuous, oval turf-covered, stony mound 78ft E-W by 69ft across and 8ft high, robbed and disturbed for secondary buildings one and beside it, but probably for a burial cairn. A low, 20ft long extension at the west end is probably due to later disturbance. A few boulders round the edge may represent a peristalith and set stones in the body of the mound may well be the remains of a chamber.
