This is one of the best preserved of the remarkable concentration of cairns in the valley between the SW end of Loch Neill and the head of Loch Feochan. It measures about 21.3 metres in diameter and, although reduced by stone-robbing, it still stands to a height of 1.4 metres. Several granite kerb-stones survive round the perimeter, the largest standing to a height of 0.7
