Full Description
"Situated on the high ground to the north-west of Loch Dubh at the summit of Sidhean Ard na Clibhe this cairn measures 0.5 metres in diameter and stands to 0.75 metres tall. While it is not particularly large it is made prominent by the inclusion of a small upright stone or orthostat at its centre. This cairn appears to be located to provide a clear line of sight of navigation for boats travelling through the southern reaches of Loch Erisort, and through the western extents of the passage between the south shore of the loch and Eilean Chalium Cille." (Burgess 2004, 166)
