Stone Circle and ring cairn in Highland.
Lying in a field beside the A96, this ring cairn has been badly damaged by field clearance and cattle trampling. An arc of the outer kerb survives only to the north-west, while only three stones of the inner kerb remain to the south-west. To the north-east of the cairn is a standing stone of puddingstone just over 1.5 metres tall. A second stone, now fallen, lies close by to the south-east. These are probably the remains of an outer stone circle which once enclosed the cairn.

Canmore ID 14229
