Details Remains of a round cairn. Opened in the early 19th century, this cairn was found to contain two cists and a great number of human bones. The OS confirmed this as a cairn when visiting in 1958 as its stone-built composition can be clearly seen in many excavated places. Much of the cairn has been quarried away on the northwest, but its perimeter can be traced showing it to be 22.5m in diameter. It is 3.0m high.
