(NJ 0077 2535) Cairn (NR)
Stone Coffin containing Ashes found AD 1860 (NAT)
OS 6"map, Morayshire, 2nd ed., (1905)
Near the south side of Gaich Wood, a short distance from Croftscalich, is a large cairn of stones which was opened about six years ago (c. 1865), when a cist containing dust or ashes was found near its centre. Most of it has been removed to build walls around the adjoining fields.
Name Book 1871.
No trace of this cairn; presumably destroyed by re-afforestation.
Visited by OS (N K B) 1 September 1966.
