Remains of a cairn. Jervise described the discovery of a cist, found before 1842, the bottom of the grave was about 0.91m, below the surface, and was composed of six separate flags of freestone, all of which remained in situ except the top. It was about 1.22m long, by 0.61m broad, and lay due north and south. Within the cist were found a stone urn, in the southeast corner, and two stone dishes with handles or ears, resembling those of 'luggies'. No bones, weapons, or personal ornaments were discovered, but the urn was 'about half full of black ashes'. The urn and 'dishes' were given to the late Mr Charles Gray of Carse Gray. The cairn, locally called the Roundie, is 30m in diameter and 1m high surrounded by a retaining wall. The cist cavity, 1.3m by 0.6m by 0.3m deep remains but no slabs are visible. It is possible that they are obscured by the vegetation which covers the cairn. A few large stones lie around.
