NN 7750 5914. A bowl-shaped grassy mound 25m in diameter, suggestive of a barrow, but is a modern quarry spoil heap.
Visited by OS (AA), 24 October 1974
NN 775 591. On a level terrace of the River Tummel, to the S of the public road, is a roughly circular mound c25m in diameter and c1.5m high. The mound is under pasture. A telegraph pole has been erected on its northern flank and a water pipe has been dug across it. It was identified by OS (supra) as a quarry spoil heap. However, there is no evidence of quarrying in the area and its shape, regularity and position suggest that it is probably a burial mound.
