Cairn o' Mey is generally as described above. Precise measurement is impossible owing to incursion by ploughing and the erection of the monument. The protection fence has been removed.

Cairn o' Mey (NR)
OS 1:10,000 map, (1976)

Cairn o' Mey is a large, grass-covered cairn, 0.8m high. Cultivation has reduced the size of the mound to about 14.0m in diameter, but the original limits can still be discerned, giving a diameter of some 34.0m. The central mound has been further mutilated by the erection of a monument and protection fence on its summit.

This low mound, whose character cannot be determined without excavation, lies N and S and measures some 50ft by 27ft and 2 to 3ft high. The level in the field adjacent indicates that the mound is a remnant of a larger construction which has been ploughed down.
