Round Cairn in Moray.
Difficult to access due to cattle being housed in the field.
The presumed cairn, is very wide, but very low in comparison, presumably robbed out over the years. Now cordoned off by a low fence around the site.
Aron Bowers
14,16m dia, 1.1m high. 20 cupmarks near the centre on a flat slab.
