(NM 9271 3545) Cairn (NR).
(Undated) OS annotation.
Standing in a clump of trees about 70 metres SE of Lochan a' Chuirn, is a cairn which has been seriously disturbed by stone-robbing and by the construction of a wall which crosses it. The outline has been further distorted by the dumping of stones from adjacent field clearance. Its original diameter was probably about 24 metres, and its present maximum height is 2.1 metres.
