Cairn, Allt a’ Chaoruinn
About 300 yards NNE of the bridge over the Allt a’Chaoruinn and about 250 ft back from the road, are the remains of a cairn with an external diameter of about 50 ft [15.2m]. The whole of the centre of the cairn, to the extent of 14 ft diameter, has at some time been cleared out, so as to leave walls all round 3 ft to 4 ft high, forming a shelter. The bottom is covered with large boulders, and the sides show no signs of building, the outside appearance being that of a cairn. There is no sign of a cist or chamber in the interior. All round the N half there is a trench about 10 ft wide and 2 ft deep, but this is not continued round the S half, where the ground slopes rapidly away.
