Full Description

"Located immediately to the east of blackhouse (1.4) the remains of this cairn measure 2 metres in diameter and stand to a maximum height of 0.5 metres. The form and location of this feature suggest that it is clearnance relating to the cultivation on the south facing slopes below to the south." (Burgess 2004, 73)
