Full Description

Located in a slight hollow part way up west-facing slope; c.4 m x 2.5 m across, oriented east/west, and up to 0.9 m high. Constructed of sub-angular and sub-rounded boulders up to 1.2 m across. Partially overgrown. No evidence of cultivation in area. The location and nature of the cairn suggest it’s unlikely to be funerary or clearance.
