Full Description
NB13NE 8 196 394.
At the W end of a ridge joining a rounded hill (Cnocan Ball Dubh) to the S, with a rocky hillock to the W, and overlooking valleys to E and W, there is a near circular mound approximately 20m diameter and nearly 2m high, of stones partly covered by grass and heather. As the cairn is largely surrounded by peat and heather it may be larger than described. No large stones or other evidence of chambers exist.
Many of the surface stones have been rearranged to form five semi-modern sub-circular settings.
