(NJ 0118 2561) Cairn (NR)

OS 6" map, Morayshire, 1st ed., (1874)

No trace of this cairn. The area is closely afforested. (No information in the relevant Name Book)

Visited by OS (D A) 31 October 1955.

No trace of this cairn; presumably destroyed by afforestation.

Visited by OS (N K B) 1 September 1966.

This cairn has not been destroyed by the planting of trees as previously reported, but survives in a mature plantation 250m SW of Upper Gaigh farmsteading. Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope, the cairn measures 19m from NW to SE by 14m transversely over a mound of rubble up to 1m in height on the NE. Several hollows in the surface of the mound appear to be the result of robbing, some of it comparatively recent.

Visited by RCAHMS (AGCH) 11 October 2006.
