Field Visit (May 1966)
NM71NE 779 192
This cairn is situated on a rocky spine separating two strips of cultivated ground some 700m SW of Clachan Bridge (RCAHMS 1975, No. 369). Roughly circular on plan, it appears as a grass-covered stony mound measuring about 22m in diameter and 2m in height. Several large kerb-stones are still visible on the S and W arcs of the perimeter, but elsewhere the remains have been greatly disturbed by stone-robbing.

Field Visit (14 September 1971)
NM71NE 11 7794 1926.
NM 7794 1926. There is a sub-circular cairn 350 yds E of the ruined shieling at Barnafeochag. It is composed of earth and stones, now grass-grown, and measures c. 18.0m in diameter by 1.5m in average height. Though the RCAHMS (1975, visited 1966) note a setting of stones, rather like a kerb, on the S and SW, this was not noted in 1971.
Visited by OS (RD) 14 September 1971.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
