This drystone cairn, which is situated on the summit of Creagan a' Chaise, exhibits two periods of construction. The original cairn measures about 2.5m in diameter by at least 3m in height and a stone plaque set into its S side at a height of about 1.5m is inscribed 'V [crown symbol] R || Jubilee Cairn || Erected June 1887 || God save the Queen'. This cairn has been enclosed within a larger cairn measuring 4.5m in diameter by 2.2m in height, but an opening has been left so that the plaque can be seen.
