This barrow stands on an elevated site sheltered by mature trees and looks down onto Loch Etive where it meets the sea.
The site is 120 metres ESE of the Loch Nell Hotel in North Connel, a small housing scheme backs onto it and various footpaths pass it.
The barrow is covered in young bluebells, trees and brambles and several rabbits have set up home.
It measures 12.2 metres in diameter by 2 metres in height and appears to be composed of earth and gravel.
If you can imagine the site without the houses and Connel bridge this location would have been stunning the sun rising behind Ben Cruachan and setting beyond Mull and the Etive flowing below.
