SX 5791 7024. Round cairn situated on periphery of a large hut settlement. Mound measures 5.5 metres in diameter and stands up to 0.6 metres high. A central hollow 1.5 metres by 1.0 metre by 0.25 metres deep, suggests partial early excavation or robbing. The cairn appears to partly overlie reave (sx57se/103/36), though this may be a result of slippage over the years.
An alignment of stones leading from the cairn appears to be relatively recent origin as all the stones are resting on the turf level.
