Archaeology Notes

NR79SE 6 7785 9132.

(NR 7785 9132) Cairn (NAT)

OS 6" map, Argyllshire, 2nd ed., (1924)

Very large, long cairn on spur of ridge just N of track. No certain kerb, but size and shape suggest a ruined long cairn. Now in Forestry Commission ground though not itself planted over. Visited 1959 (information from M Campbell 24 March 1961).

M Campbell and M Sandeman 1964.

This alleged cairn is no more than dump of stone from a nearby quarry. Miss Campbell (1964) is referring to a natural spine of rock 20m to the south, with the remains of an old field wall along its E edge.

Visited by OS (DWR) 22 May 1973.
