NM 907289. The stone setting to the E of the standing stone of Clach na Carraig was excavated by Mr J. N. G, Ritchie. It proved to be a kerbed cairn 15' in diameter, the stones of the kerb being graded in height from 4' 3" downwards. Twelve of the kerb stones survive and the stone holes of the other three were discovered. A central pit, 2' deep, contained some small fragments of cremated bone. The cairn material was only 2' 6" in height and consisted of earth and boulders. Publication will be in the Lorn volume of the Inventory of Argyll.
