OS 6" map, (1957)

Visited by OS (B S) 27 October 1976.
Nothing is visible of this cairn or barrow and its site lies in what is now an arable field 430m SSW of Langalbuinoch farmsteading. The position of the ‘Tumulus' is depicted on the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map (Buteshire 1869, sheet CCXV).

Aerial Photographic Transcription (21 June 2011)
Note (10 May 2012)
What is probably a ditched barrow, a field boundary and modern drainage have been recorded as cropmarking on aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 2010) in fields about 400m SW of Langalbuinoch farmstead (NS05NE 104). The barrow (NS 07908 56455) is visible as partial circuit of ditch, broken by a narrow gap on the NW, and by a larger gap on the SE. The ditch is about 1.5m across, enclosing an area about 14m in diameter. This probably marks the location of a tumulus or barrow first noted in the 1860s as having been ‘levelled about 20 years ago’ (OS Name Book 4, 39). The field boundary, also defined by a ditch, lies to the SW of the barrow, perhaps defining the NE side of a field.
