Full Description
"Situated on the south-west facing slopes above the south shore of Eilean Chalium Cille the remains of this elongated clearance cairn measure 5 metres from west to east and 2.5 metres from north to south. Dumbell in shape, many of the stones forming this structure seem to be large boulders of the kind seen in cairns to the east (5.2, 5.3) that were gathered together by machine during the 1980s. However, as with those cairns there is some suggestion that an early structure survives under the east of this later clearance (2.4)." (Burgess 2004, 75)
