Full Description
Cairn (NAT) on remains of Hut Circle (NR)
(Neither on OS 6" map, Caithness, 1st edition, nor in RCAHMS inventory) OS 6" map, (1959)
A modern marker cairn 2.5m high. Surrounding it are traces of a ring of stones about 3.5m in diameter, presumably the alleged hut circle. This is not an antiquity and the local tradition of a whisky still is possibly correct.
