There are only two or three stones of this cairn now remaining.
Name Book 1866.
There is not trace of a cairn, nor any local knowledge of it, at the published site.
Visited by OS (RD), 13 January 1965.
Nothing is visible of a cairn that stood on the summit of Calton Hill. It had largely been removed before 1866, and its site lies in what is now a cultivated field.
