Eighteen field clearance cairns, situated on the W side of Torr Breac, were recorded during a pre-afforestation survey on the Killiehuntly Estate. The cairns are circular or oval on plan and range from 4m in diameter to up to 5m by 8m and stand up to 0.4m in height. Stone is exposed in the centre of some of the cairns.
