NM 943 407. A cairn and a standing stone (NM94SW 9) are situated in an area of upland pasture between Cnoc Reamhar and the Allt Garraich burn at a height of about 50 m OD. The cairn (plan, Fig. 15) is oval on plan and measures 4.6 m from N to S by 4'0 m transversely. It is kerbed by a series of large boulders, mainly granite erratics measuring up to 0'7 m in height, fifteen of which remain in situ; others are lying dislodged nearby. The cairn material is rather lower than the kerb, standing to a height of only 0'3 m above the surrounding ground, and it seems unlikely that it was ever appreciably higher. This cairn belongs to a distinct class of monument, which is further discussed on p. 10.
