A large, partly destroyed, chambered cairn, with one remaining stone standing. The cairn overlooks North Sannox Burn, and lies just below a modern plantation. There are many hut circles and cairns in the plantation, and a hill fort to the North West nearby. The cairn is named "Lag nan Sasunnach" Grave of the Stranger.
This one is very close to the car park, just to the left of the toilet block.
