Full Description
NB13SE 13 189 340.
Located on top of a grassy ridge running N from a rocky summit there is a mound of stones largely covered in grass. There is no evidence of internal structure. There are at least 10 kerb stones in situ; one on the E side being 2m long, 3 on the SE corner (heights 0.37m, 0.60m and 0.65m) being contiguous, and 1 (1.2m long) at the N end having fallen outwards. The overall length of the cairn is 8m in a NS direction and overall width 7.5m. It stands about 1.5m high.
Minor interference is suggested by a slight hollow in the centre, some outcast stones and the displaced kerbstone.
