Monument record MHG12555 - Alltan Dearg

NC66SW 3 6446 6136.

At NC 6446 6136, on a fairly level shelf below a steep hill slope, is a mound of rubble stones overgrown with bracken, which measures 6.0m in diameter and 0.5m high. Its size, shape and content are indicative of a cairn, though no cist or kerb is identifiable and the position lacks prominence. To the north, and on the summit of the hill to the west, are at least a dozen heather covered mounds, probably clearance heaps, but no cultivation plots or hut circles are visible. These mounds are smaller than the probable cairn with a different composition.
Surveyed at 1:10000.
