''The Mittenfull of Stones" in 1794, subsequently ''The Meeting Stones", currently ''The Mutiny Stones", the cairn is aligned north-east/south-west on Byrecleugh Ridge, overlooking the Dye Water. Reached after a good, bracing walk, it is a striking example of a rare long cairn, over 85m long and between 7.6m and nearly 23m wide. Even though considerably robbed to provide stone for nearby sheep-stells, it stills rises to 2.5m at its eastern, wider end.
