A long cairn, I think the only example in this area. May have been chambered but much of the original removed for dykes and sheep shelters Superb site on good day grouse, curlew, peewits, mountain hares and sky larks
"Mutiny" is a corruption of the old names "mitten" or "midden" probably just descriptive of a heap of stones
