Full Description
The site was visited by D Glass in April 2013. He described it as:
"There is a pile of stones suggestive of a clearance cairn situated approximately 150 metres North of the farmstead at Buailemor.
The stones lie within what appear to be the footings of a rectangular structure aligned NW – SE. At the SW corner are stone slabs set upright. There is little tumbled stone outside the footings. It might be that stones from land clearance have been deposited on the collapsed remains of an earlier
structure." <1>
