(Location amended to NJ 6976 2052 and classification to Cairn: Ring). This probable ring-cairn is situated in mature coniferous woodland 730m NE of Mains of Afforsk farmsteading (NJ62SE 20), lying immediately SE of the junction of two forest tracks. The flat-topped cairn is grass- and heather-grown, measuring 14.4m in overall diameter and up to 1m in height. The inner court is marked by a circular hollow, measuring 4m in diameter, which is offset slightly to the E of the centre of the mound. Traces of forestry ploughing can be seen traversing the cairn, and several tree stumps are also visible.
