The Cloch NO 781 679 NO76NE 1
This cairn is situated on the summit of Cloch Hill 380m WNW of Boghead farmhouse. It measures 18m in diameter over the remains of a boulder kerb and has been reduced by robbing to a height of 0.5m. The cairn takes its name from a prominent conglomerate slab (2.3m by 1.7m by 0.6m) set on edge which forms one of the kerbstones on the SSE; it is flanked by two upright kerbstones, leading to the suggestion that the site is a Recumbent Stone Circle. The cairn is, however, one of a group in the area which have well-built kerbs and an associated large stone. (See also NO87NW 12, NO87NW 6, NO87NW 4 and NO87NW 5)
