Small Henge in Clashindarroch Forest. This is a small but well-preserved henge on a haugh at the foot of a steep-sided valley, in a typical location for a henge. The low circular bank is 16.5 m in diameter enclosing a 6 m diameter platform. There is one entrance through the bank and ditch in SE arc.

A reconstruction based on this monument can be seen at the Archaeolink Prehistory Park, Oyne.
