Full Description

A moss-covered mound of stones, which is probably clearance material, approximately 4m in diameter and 1m high. It is situated 200m upslope and to the north of two clearance cairns. It would be expected that clearance cairns would be found in the area, associated with early cultivation and reflective of prehistoric settlement. <1>
