Below Cnoc an Each at Swordale there are a number of small cairns. " ... I once opened one of the Swordale cairns, and found at the core a small triangular space formed by three flat stones, but it contained nothing except a few pieces of charcoal, and I understand that although many of these small cairns have been opened and examined nothing has yet been found to determine their real purpose". Associated with the cairns at Swordale are a number of what look like hut-circles.
N Macrae 1923.
No further information. The slopes of Cnoc an Each were perambulated, but none of the features mentioned by Macrae were found.

The SE slopes of Cnoc an Each, which are ideal for settlement, are now afforested and nothing was seen of these alleged cairns (? clearance heaps) and hut circles. See NH56SW 19.
