(NM 8149 3887) Cairn (NR)

OS 1:10,000 map, (1975)

On the summit of Barr Mor is a cairn measuring 6.9 metres in diameter and 1.2 metres in height, and on which an OS triangulation pillar has been erected. The kerb, formed of large boulders up to 0.55 metres in height, is almost complete. Two courses of kerb-stones are visible in some places, but this may be due to the fact that the cairn was rebuilt in 1933.
