Full Description
"Situated just below the summit of an unnamed knoll above the southern shores of Eilean Chalium Cille, on its south facing slopes, the remains of this cairn measure 2.5 x 2.5 metres and stand to a maximum height of 0.5 metres. Situated on a prominent knoll on the hill slope, much of the extent of this cairn has become covered with turf. While much of the bulk of the stone has been removed from the interior of this structure, the remains of a kerb are still visible at the outer extents of its circumference. This cairn is similar in form to many of the other kerbed cairns located across the southern slopes of Eilean Chalium Cille, both in size and form." (Burgess 2004, 92)
