Full Description

"Situated under the east end of clearance cairn (5.1) the remains of this possible kerbed cairn measure 2.5 metres in diameter and stand to no more than 0.25 metres. A possible kerb can be discerned on the east and south sides of the modern cairn which consists of a number of large boulders dumped on the earlier feature and a pile of smaller stones to the west. If this feature is a kerbed cairn it is likely to form part of a group of such structures located on the crest of the ridge behind the south shore of Eilean Chalium Cille (2.1, 2.2, 2.3)". (Burgess 2004, 75)
