This is located 40m W of the other possible cairn in an area where there are several glacial eratics. It too is a low oval mound c. 17.5m N-S by c. 10.5m, which stands up to 2.0m higher than the surrounding ground.
It does not have very well defined edges and has been extensively robbed. It is composed of material similar in character to that in the other possible cairn.
Information from S T Driscoll 1989 (see archive MS/550, 3).
Project (July 1989)
Pre-afforestation survey undertaken in Tordarroch, Davoit and Dunlichty, Inverness, commissioned by Historic Buildings and Monuments, Scottish Development department.

Field Visit (5 November 1992)
This low stony mound is composed largely of water-rolled pebbles. It does not have the appearance of a burial cairn and it is probably largely of natural origin, though it may have had field clearance added to it. There is a similar feature some 40m to the NE (NH63SE 40). Visited by RCAHMS (SDB) 5 November 1992.
