Full Description
NC40SW 7 4274 0099.
At NC 4274 0099, on a low rise overlooking the flood-plain of the Oykel, is a heather-covered stone mound; probably a burial cairn. It measures 6.5m E-W by 5.5m N-S, and survives to a height of 0.9m, though it has been robbed possibly to build a shieling 7.0m to the east. On the south arc are three large slabs 0.5m high, which may be displaced kerbstones. Surveyed at 1:10 000.
Visited by OS (J B) 1 September 1976.
