Full Description

This monument comprises a stone cairn, 3m across and 0.5m high, with a central depression and a break in the S side. It may be a clearance cairn reused as a shooting butt or bothy, although an earlier origin as a shieling or hut-circle cannot be dismissed. Current OS records a rectilinear structure at this location.
