Monument record 10548 - LSFH 5.6 Beinn Chleiteir

"Fragmentary remains of a cairn located on a knoll immediately to the south of the Balallen to Pairc road, on the southern slopes of Beinn Chleiteir, overlooking Loch Dubh. The remains of the cairn are spread for 3 metres west to east along the ridge and consist primarily of fist-sized stones. The size of the core of the cairn suggests it might be a navigation cairn although the location is not typical of such sites. The location does, however, seem more typical of some of the kerb cairns found locally, and the size of the scatter would fit into the smaller end of the size range for such sites." Could be part of a ritual landscape. "Including the stone circle and setting on Cnoc nan Clach and the standing stone at Sildonis (NB21NE04) this landscape seems to dominate the slopes above the south-western end of the sea loch - Loch Erisort. Other elements might include the spring or well (5.4) located in the valley immediately to the west of Cnoc nan Clach and the chambered cairn located ca 1000 metres to the south of the burn that runs past its west side (5.5)."
