Field Visit (May 1980)
NR69NE 2 666 983.
This cairn stands some 200m SW of the deserted farm of Goirtean Uamh nan Giall; measuring about 8.5m by 7.5m and 0.7m in height, it has a small cist at its centre (0.7m by 0.36m and 0.43m deep). A slab, 1.38m by 0.12m, is visible protruding above the cairn material on the NE, but its purpose is uncertain.
