This is one of the most extensive systems of stone clearance heaps in Grampian, extending over 145 ha on the hill shoulder and flanks of BaInagowan Hill. Although much is now masked by afforestation, it is still possible to appreciate the extent of the land clearance carried out by the farmers of the first millennium BC. The clearance heaps are larger than usual in the north-east, from 6 to 12m in diameter, while the field banks can also be traced.
The earlier long cairn (no. 104) sits on the saddle amidst the system.
