Cairn, Kilninain: On the left bank of the Allt Hostarie, about 440m SW of Kilninain parish church, there is a large cairn measuring 15m in diameter and 2m in height. A series of large boulders forming the kerb can be seen intermittently round the perimeter, especially on the S side. A considerable quantity of stones has been robbed from the top of the cairn and from its N half, but otherwise it is relatively well preserved.
