NMRS notes:
NM76SE 2 758 611.
NM 758 611. Cairn, Camasine: Situated near the foot of a low cliff immediately to the NE of the public road leading from Strontian to Salen, and about 450m SE of Camasine farmhouse, there are the wasted remains of a cairn measuring 9.3m in average diameter and 1.2m high. The large slab that protrudes from the centre of the cairn may possibly be the dislodged capstone of a cist, but the large block overlying the perimeter of the cairn on the N has probably fallen from the face of the adjacent cliff.
RCAHMS 1980, visited 1974.
