A massive cairn known as Carn Ban,occupies the summit of a ridge 700m NNE of Carnassarie Castle (NM80SW 2) and 400m NNE of Carnassarie farmhouse; it commands wide views, particularly to the SSW down the Kilmartin Burn, and measures 20m in diameter and over 3m in height with intermittent kerbstones in position throughout its perimeter. The height of the cairn is accentuated by the incorporation of natural outcrops, some of which protrude on the W, and it is now surmounted by a modern cairn.
