Full Description

Visited by the Assynt's Hidden Lives project in December 2009. Situated on a terrace 30m north of MHG13036 is a grass covered mound 33m by 14m and 2m in height, aligned N/S. Small stones resembling cairn material are visible in a number of places and there is no obvious robbing or other damage to the mound. The mound is respected by the curvilinear bank, part of field system MHG18796 . No in-situ construction is apparent, so identification must remain tentative. <1>
