What is recorded here
No visible stones remain on the south verge of the Tully to Salrock road, yet the missing cairn still marks the edge of a forgotten landscape. It stood beside a chapel and joined a pair of similar monuments further east, forming a quiet line of human attention across open ground. The earth may have swallowed the stones or taken them elsewhere, but the place remembers the shape they once gave it.
On S verge of road from Tully to Salrock c. 100m E of a chapel site (GA070-011----) and c. 850m E of a pair of similar monuments (GA010-043----). Indicated on 1st ed. OS 6-inch map but no visible surface trace survives.
