Field Visit (1 March 2008 - 1 April 2011)
SRP field reconnaissance and mapping
Close to a dry stream bed 100m NE of Cairn Buy is a possible burnt mound. It is in poor condition and its size and form cannot be easily appreciated. Immediately N are five small cairns and a discontinuous curving length of stony dyke. There is a further short stretch of stone dyke 20m NE of the burnt mound.
