Details A small cairn depicted on the OS 1st edition map (1846) called Shepherd's Cairn, along with six other cairns of the same name (NJ25SW0031, NJ25SW0032, NJ25SW0034, NJ24NW0024) extending along the summit and ridgeline of Bracken Noits southeast to Bruach Hill, which may have formed boundary markers related to Rothes Estate. The cairn is not depicted on the OS 2nd edition map (1888), nor on the current edition OS map and it is unknown if it survives. The cairn location was just within the area of a walkover survey carried out by West Coast Archaeological Services in October 2020, covering an area of a proposed woodland planting and regeneration scheme (NJ25SW0049).
