Cairn in Aberdeenshire
Likely a burial mound or cairn, it lies in a field just south of Hatton of Fintray. It is thought to have been about 25m in diameter originally, but it was cut into and a retaining wall added after the first world war to enclose a memorial on the summit. It now measures 17.5m x 16m in area with a rise of 2m in height above the 1m high wall.
