It's difficult to estimate exactly how big the cairn was because much of the stone has been robbed to build shielings, some of which were built on the cairn itself and others nearbly.
Viewing from the Stiaraval CC, the Airidh na h-aon Oidche Chambered Cairn lies roughly to the east 490metres away on a hilltop and forms part of the skyline/horizon, on very clear days Airidh na h-aon Oidche sits between two distant hills over on the Isle of Skye 26 miles away.
