A kerb cairn on a steep West slope, SW 38392806. It has a diameter of 4.4m, including an outer kerb of fairly contiguous blocks and slabs up to 0.7m high; a few are double banked, giving a width of 1.1m. The interior is barely 0.3m high, with a central slab oriented NNW/SSE which may conceal a cist. In the background is the other kerb cairn at SW 38372806.
