NC21SE 7 2631 1091.

(NC 2631 1091) An unchambered cairn on the edge of Loch Borralan.

J M Howell 1976, No. 43 (see archive MS/120/1)

This is not a cairn, but a peat-covered natural mound about 9.0m across and 0.8m high, in which what appears to be living rock and some loose stone is exposed. The mound lacks the regular plan and profile of a cairn.

Visited by OS (N K B) 23 June 1980.
