(NM 9000 2429) Cairn (NR).
OS 1:10,000 map, (1974)
This cairn, about 260 metres west of Dalnacabaig farmhouse, is situated on the edge of a level shelf above the flood-plain of the stream Feochan Bheag. A conspicuous oval mound, it measures 19.5 by 17.4 metres and has a maximum height of 2.3 metres. Although almost completely grass-covered, the cairn can be seen to have been bordered by a kerb of massive boulders, particularly well-preserved on the SE arc. On the SW, however, the kerb has been largely removed by stone-robbing.
RCAHMS 1975, visited June 1975.
There is a marked central depression otherwise as described.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (R D) 15 October 1969.
