The remains of this chambered cairn are situated in a small clearing on the edge of a forestry plantation. The bracken covered top of the cairn is level with the surrounding ground and the cairn edge is difficult to recognise. The north west (downhill) side, however, is visible as a grassy scarp 0.8m high.
More information can be found on Canmore ID 40204.
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also feature a page for this site - see their entry for Glenrickard, Brodick, Isle of Arran, Argyll, which gives directions for finding this site, together with a photograph, the 1868 OS map showing the location of the cairn, a 1972 ground plan and a brief archaeology & history of the site.
