Full Description
On the spine of a low ridge, is a heather and turf-covered cairn, 12m in diameter and 0.7m high. It has been mutilated, and its summit is occupied by the footings of a bothy, 6 by 3m.
Surveyed at 1:2500. Visited by OS (N K B) 13 December 1982.
This cairn is situated on a low ridge to the SW of Cnoc Sheangan, in the open moorland forming the north side of the basin in the hills centred on Greentulloch. Covered in a layer of peat and short heather, little trace of any stone is visible on the surface of the mound, which measures about 9m in diameter by 0.5m in average height, but rises to 0.8m in maximum height on the NW.
What may be a small cairn some 4m in diameter by 0.5m in height lies approximately 20m NNW of the cairn.
