Full Description

NH63SW 28 6209 3369.

(NH 6209 3369) Cairn (NR)
OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1905)

Possibly a chambered cairn or one which has been utilised as a butt. Aligned NE-SW 23 ft by 33 ft.
Information from A A Woodham to OS 9 August 1963.

This cairn is 12.0m NE-SW by 10.0m NW-SE and is 0.5m high. It consists of bare stone rubble with a few larger slabs protruding near the NE end which may represent the remains of a chamber choked with smaller stones. Abutting on the ENE side of the cairn is a hut-circle (see NH63SW 23) Re-surveyed at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (R D) 30 August 1963.

Doubtful chambered cairn.
Information from A S Henshall (NMAS) to OS 28 September 1963.

This cairn of stones is correctly described by Loader, except that the slabs referred to form no intelligible pattern and are unlikely to be part of a chamber. Its situation on a slope and its similarity to clearance heaps of bare stones nearby. (see NH63SW 32) suggest that it is also a clearance heap and not a cairn.
Visited by OS (A A) 4 March 1970.
