What is recorded here

Cairn is an oval pile of loose stones in rough hill pasture, overlooking the Dromoghty River valley. It belongs to a group of nine similar markers, with the nearest about thirty metres to the southwest. Gorse and grass partly hide it now, but traces of kerbing remain on its northeast edge. The stones may have marked a boundary, a burial or a meeting place, yet no clear function has survived.

In rough hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Dromoghty River. This oval cairn (3.4m NE-SW; 2.3m NW-SE; H 0.8m) of loose stones is partially obscured by gorse and grass.
