There are two cairns at the end of a ridge 750m NNW of Barrackan overlooking the S end of the bay known as Bagh Dail nan Ceann (Campbell and Sandeman 1964). The NE cairn is 11.5m in diameter and 1.4m high; although it has been robbed, it is likely that any burials remain undisturbed. The other cairn, which is situated 2m to the SW is up to 12m in diameter and 1.8m high, with what may be several large kerbstones on the perimeter; a lambing-pen has been built within the cairn material in the NE quadrant.
