Full Description
A possible cairn or clearance cairn at Heights of Docharty. The feature is shown as a roughly circular area of stone in vertical aerial photographs c.11m in diameter. It may be field clearance or the remains of a burial cairn. Though shown more complete on earlier aerial photographs, those taken more recently show the feature to have been damaged and denuded by agricultural practices and ditch excavation. <1> <2> <3>
