Full Description
NH59NE 16 5831 9917.
Found during field investigation at NH 5831 9917 is a cairn situated in a conspicuous position on the brink of a SW-facing slope. Five kerbstones, three displaced, are visible around the perimeter, and deep heather and peat may obscure others. Mutilation in the centre has exposed a prostrate boulder 1.0m NW-SE by 0.7m by 0.2m thick, which appears to be an undisturbed cist cover slab.
Surveyed at 1:10 560. Visited by OS (A A) 25 September 1973.
The cairn would seem to be about 6m diameter. Other details correct as noted.
Surveyed at 1:10 000. Visited by OS (J M) 27 October 1976.
This cairn was not located on the date of visit due to bracken cover. Visited by RCAHMS (JRS) October 1989.
