Monument record MHG39219 - Site of Probable Ring Cairn, Doire Domhain

Surveyed ACFA 2003 SMR report 1430
Patrtial excavation Oct 1999 ACFA

Feature appears as a pair of concentric stone circles protruding through the heather and grass 110m NW of NG54SE0073. It lies some 5m below the height of the ring cairn with the land sloping from E to W.

The outer circle has a diameter of 10m E-W and 9m N-S. The internal ring has a diameter of 6m and the rings are 0.9m apart. None of the stones are greater than 0.5m in height.

Probing of the interior and surrounding land showed an area of stones just below the surface. The area is grass covered with much rough heather and is usually waterlogged.

October 1999 Turf was stripped from the NE quadrant, an area 8m by 6m. The stony area was confirmed with nothing lying outside the circles. The stones of the interior are mostly fragments of Torridonian sandstone packed with black 'soil material'. The area was simply exposed to confirm the stones and then backfilled. Flooding and waterlogging was unmanageable.

Believed to be a small ring cairn into which clearance has been dumped .

Rig and furrow occurs just to the east on an E-W axis
