Full Description

This chambered cairn is situated on a terrace on the NW flank of Creag a' Bhata and commands an extensive view over Strath Fleet. The cairn measures about 14m in diameter and 1m in height over an intermittent line of kerb stones. The chamber is marked by a depression, measuring 2.5m from NW to SE by 1.5m transversely, in the centre of the cairn, the NE angle of which is defined by the three slabs which may be in situ. The entrance may have been on the SSE (Henshall and Ritchie 1995).
