JamesG visited on 20th Sep 2020 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Condition of cist seems to have improved since the previous photos were taken, easily identifiable as such. May have been cleared or excavated.
There is no footpath, but it is only a short walk up the hill, no more than a few hundred meters. The cairn is still about five feet high, built into a west facing hill slope. The chamber/cist is exposed and aligned more or less east west.
The views up and down Loch (oh so) Fyne and of the mist wreathed mountains are hard to tear myself away from.
