NG 562 417 Cairn. The cairn is very degraded and is outwith the modern enclosing fence and overlooking the Allt Bhraghad. The cairn has been reported as being circular but is, in fact, almost square, being 3.40m from north to south by 3.70m from east to west. The edge of the cairn is well defined by a kerb of stones on the north, east and west sides but shows only as a grassy slope on the south side. The cairn itself is now very close to the edge of the slope and may well disappear in the future. The cairn is most probably a square Pictish burial cairn.
Site identified during an archaeological survey on Raasay by the ACFA.
