Cairn in Isle of Islay. Upper Cragabus is a badly damaged cairn c. 0.33 miles SSW of Cragabus Cairn, situated on the edge of a pine forest. It is a grassy cairn measuring c. 10 yards across by 1.5 yards high. It has been denuded of stones save for a few field clearance stones scattered on the cairn. Two large pits up to 1 yard deep have been excavated in the interior of the cairn. The surviving cairn is a pale shadow of the original construction.
There is a listing of this site at Canmore ID 37620.
