Philla Cairn: The remains of what appears to have been a large cairn.
Name Book 1863.
A circular, turf-covered mound, 12.0m in diameter and 1.2m high, centrally placed on a platform 21.0m in diameter overall, is situated on the false crest of a gentle SE-facing slope. The platform has been built up to provide a level base for the mound. A large flat stone, 2.0 by 1.0m, lies on the berm, at the SW side of the cairn. A slight mutilation on the S side reveals a content of rubble stones and earth. The name is not known locally. A bell-cairn.
Revised at 1:2500.
