Most of the cairn material has gone but there remains the vestige of a kerb, together with one side stone of a chamber, a pair of portals and 1 other stone of a probable facade. The chamber was aligned WNW-ENE and the waterfall is framed by the portals when viewed along the line of the chamber, stunning! If visiting, it is best approached along the shore path from Jura House, Brosdale, allow up to an hour each way (c.2.5km).
Canmore site no. 38244.
