NN 729 466: Possible Long Cairn, Fortingall. A mound of earth and stones measuring 105' along the ENE-WSW axis, and about 5' high. Across the E end it is about 30' wide, across the centre it is about 38', and about the same across the W end. In plan, the ends appear to be rounded.
There is a very slight dip in the surface of the field along the S side of the mound which might indicate the presence of a ditch some 8' - 10' wide. On the N side, this feature, if it exists, is obscured by an old dyke running at an oblique angle to the side of the cairn.
