Remains of several small cairns, recorded by J Sherriff in 1982. The largest cairn is about 4 m in diameter. They are scattered around the northwest end of a conifer plantation, about 600 m northwest of Middle Coul farmstead (NO25NE0073). A walkover survey conducted by Alder Archaeology in October 2020, in advance of proposed woodland creation (NO25NE0079), did not find any cairn features in the area, though it is possible some may have been beneath dense bracken covering in the northern part. At the southwest corner (NO 27100 58178) the north end of an embankment was noted (recorded as Feature 57, see NO25NE0082), and it is possible that this feature had previously been mistakenly identified as a cairn, due to the presence of a footbridge (recorded as Feature 58, see also NO25NE0082) which had cut off the extreme north end of the embankment.
