Cairn in Clackmannanshire
Canmore ID 48266 records this site as: "On the NW slope of Eliston Hill is a small turf-covered cairn measuring 8.0m x 6.5m and 1.4m high, with traces of a kerb around its base. There is a small scatter of stones on top of it - probably a shepherd's cairn."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also feature a page for this site - see their entry for Elistoun West, Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire, which has photographs, directions for reaching the site (described as "a helluva climb") and a brief archaeology & history.
