About half a mile ESE of the most south-easterly arm of Cam Loch, on the low-lying ground between the high road and the river, is a large circular cairn, with a diameter of about 55ft and 6ft in height. The entrance passage to the now roofless chamber is from the E side. At the centre of the cairn, the tops of four large stones can be seen, and suggest the presence of a polygonal chamber about 8 ft wide. Several other large slabs, probably from the roof, are lying about.
