markj99 visited on 27th Aug 2018 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Hough Cairn is one of several sites located in rough pasture at Hough. Individually they are not impressive, but collectively they form a significant group.
There are two large stones exposed through the turf which covers the cairn. One stone is in the W kerb, the other in the E of the interior of the cairn. The grassy interior of the cairn has a lumpy profile probably concealing underlying stones. The incomplete perimeter has a kerb measuring 1.0 feet high by 2 feet wide running from NE to SE and a kerb measuring 1.5 feet high by 2 feet wide running from W to N.
Hough Cairn is described in Canmore ID 21433.
