What is recorded here
On upper W-facing slopes of Knockmaa, 285m WNW of a cairn (GA042-064----). A partially collapsed drystone-built structure, roughly U-shaped in plan and open towards W (N wall: L 13.7m, E wall: L 14m: S wall: L 9m). The double-faced walls appear to vary in thickness but are best preserved at S where they are up to 2.2m in height. The internal plan is completely obscured by collapsed stone. Another folly crowns the cairn to ESE.
