Chambered Cairn (supposed), Barp Hacklett, Knock-cuien. "The site known as Barp Hacklett lies on the summit of a slight elevation, rising about 50 feet above sea-level, about 400 yards south-west of Loch nan Garbh Chlachan (Loch Hacklett), and about 600 yards east of Knock-cuien. It is an irregular earthen mound, covered with stones and ruined shielings, about 80 feet in diameter and 8 feet in height. From present indications (1915) there is nothing to suggest that, as the name would imply, it has been a burial cairn. "

The core of the mound seems more earthen than stony, but a crofter's house was built of material from this site in the 1900s.
