A mound surmounted by four upright stones is the reputed grave of Diarmid. It was excavated in 1894 and proved to be simply an isolated remnant of glacial detritus. The four stones are natural boulders taken from the adjacent hillside. They vary from 1ft. 2ins. to 2ft. 3ins. in height and from 6ft. to 7ft. 6ins. in circumference.
