Full Description
The cairn is situated near the top of a gentle E-facing slope in Ardochy Woods. It survives as a low mound, some 1.5m high, surrounded by an incomplete kerb of boulders some 6m in diameter. In the centre of the cairn is an overgrown hole, perhaps caused by the collapse of a lintel stone or by an early attempt at excavation.
