(NG 5186 5898) Cairn, Tot nan Druidhean. Some 40 yards E of the road, about 1 mile S of Invertote, on a slight prominence about 400ft OD., is a grass-covered, circular mound of stone and earth some 36ft in diameter and 9ft in height, which is probably a burial cairn. The summit is slightly hollow. Immediately to the E, the ground falls away about 20ft in a steep escarpment.

(RCAHMS 1928).

Cairn, as described above. The base has been exposed on the west side by quarrying, revealing a construction of boulders, small stone and soil.
