NM 966 282. This cairn is situated on the summit of a low knoll immediately SW of Duntanachan farmhouse. A flat-topped, stony mound, measuring 18.3 metres in diameter and 2.25 metres in maximum height, it is almost entirely grass-grown. It exhibits a fairly regular profile on all sides except on the NE, where extensive robbing has taken place, presumably to provide material for the adjacent farm building.
