OS 6" map (1909)

A small cairn composed of small stones.

A green hillock at the east end of a spur of rock, which projects into the flow is probably the object meant or the site of it. There is no cairn now, and the hillock is natural.

This cairn is overlain by the small sheepfold which stands in the open moorland between High Murdonochee and Corly Craig. It measures about 10.5m in diameter by 0.5m in maximum height, but the interior of the ree has been roughly levelled into its centre.
