Recorded as Canmore site number 57981, this cairn is clearly visible from the Dod Law/Chatto Hill standing stones and cairns, sitting on the top of a rounded hill to the east.
The Canmore records for 1999 states that the cairn "measures 8.7 metres in diametres and stands to a height of 0.7 metres. At the centre there is a small quarry that has been dug out of the relatively flat top of the cairn."
At the time of our visit, we assumed the farmer had been using the cairn to dump stones to clear the field; on reflection it might well be the remains of this quarry.
