livingstone visited on 27th Feb 2011 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 The actual cairn cannot be seen from the road but field clearance gives the impression of a cairn. Only when you have walked to the top of the hill can you see the real cairn in the next field. Condition not good, access not great, but still worth a visit.

Indicated on the OS Map as a ring cairn, Little Urchany is a ruinous Clava-type cairn with an impressive kerb of large bulders around most of its circumference. In addition, three upright stones—perhaps the remains of a stone circle—stand within the kerb.
