Cairns.
The valley due south of Rudha Langaninnis contains a group of small cairns. The group consists of three cairns in alignment and seemingly linked by a drystone wall. Four cairns similarly associated with a stone wall and two isolated cairns occur at Ant-Oban overlooking Camas Danabhaig. One of the isolated cairns has been excavated. See Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., LIX., p. 238.The cairns are roughly oval and vary in length from 10 to 23 feet, and in breadth from 8 to 17 feet, the major axis usually being north-east and south-west.
