crediblywitless visited on 13th Nov 2021 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 3 You can either park at Kingshouse ("Mhor 84") and then go under the A84 and walk north up the Rob Roy Way and then "Old Military Road for about 1km each - this second half can be pretty muddy with pop-up burns; or you can carry on a little further on the Rob Roy Way and walk up "Dismantled Railway". This second route is better walking, but when you get level with the cairn there's farm-related stuff about and there may be a locked gate to climb over.
The cairn is 56m in overall length, exaggerated by some spreading of the cairn material which is lightly grassed-over; some white quartz stones show here and there. It is oriented ENE-WSW, each end being about 2m high and spread to 16m wide, while about midway, quarrying has reduced its height to about 1m and 13m in width. Later structures (enclosures and walls of a farmstead) have been built onto the cairn mutilating it considerably; the SW end particularly shows no cairn features, but a large boulder measuring 2.1 x 1.2m may have been utilised as a kerb stone. There is another large boulder on the S side near the NE end.
