Summary
This cairn forms an outlying part of a cairnfield. Cairn measures 4 metres in diameter and stands up to 0.2 metres high. The north-western part of the mound has seen limited damage, probably as a result of partial robbing. This cairn may contain burials, but the mound does form part of a group which most likely represent stone clearance connected with cultivation of the area.
