NM 925 473 In the summer of 2006 a search was carried out by the Appin Historical Society for the site of this chambered cairn, clearly described by Pococke and others in the 18th century as being on the N side of Loch Laich and opposite Castle Stalker. This must be close to Portnacroish and the only plausible remains found in this area consist of a flat rubble platform about 100m W of the row of houses, just before the road turns sharply NE and up a steep hill. The elongated platform is at least 30m long from NW–SE and only its SW edge is clearly visible (for about 33m) where the ground falls away. There are no visible traces of any large slabs which
might have been part of a chamber. The ruins of a stone cottage and its outbuilding stand on the platform.
