Full Description
"This clearance cairn measures 8 x 4 metres and is orientated from west to east. Located in good grazing on south facing slopes on the southern side of Eilean Chalium Cille, it consists of a mixture of small stones and massive boulders. Formed by machinery during a phase of clearance and drainage improvements in the mid 1980s this feature has been constructed on an earlier kerbed cairn (2.8)." (Burgess 2004, 80-81)
