Full Description

Clearance cairn (possible).
Centre of bracken-covered mound, set on 10 degrees W-sloping bracken, heather and grass-covered hillside. It is 0.5m high on its E, uphill side and 1.0m high on its opposite, downhill side, and is 4m in diameter. No stone is visible in its construction, so it may be a natural, glacial feature. Its proximity to the chambered cairn site of Feature 066 (above) 20m to its W, warrants its inclusion as a possible cairn. <1>
