Site of a possible stone circle, or kerbed cairn, which contained a cist. Jervise and the OS record the site of a circle of stones, each circa 1 m high, standing on top of the knoll called 'Torrnacloch' (Knoll of the Stone). The stones were removed to facilitate ploughing and some of them were placed on a gravel mound behind the farm-house. The last stone was removed in 1840. Following this the knoll was levelled and a flag-covered, paved cist of rounded whinstones bonded with clay was discovered. The cist lay at a depth of 1.52 m within the area of the circle and its dimensions were : length 1.52 m x 0.46 m wide x 0.3 m deep. The contents were described as 'the mouldered remains of human bones'. Subsequent survey in 1958 by the OS recorded three stones from the circle, varying in height from 0.8 m to 1.0 m which were embedded in the ground in a line with the fence immediately south of the site of the circle. In 1971, when the OS visited again, four boulders on the fence line were observed. These were viewed as being more suited as kerb stones of a cairn rather than monoliths of a stone circle. The OS therefore reclassified this site as the site of a cairn with a kerb of large boulders.
