(NC 2631 1091) An unchambered cairn on the edge of Loch Borralan.
J M Howell 1976, No. 43 (see archive MS/120/1)
This is not a cairn, but a peat-covered natural mound about 9.0m across and 0.8m high, in which what appears to be living rock and some loose stone is exposed. The mound lacks the regular plan and profile of a cairn.
Visited by OS (N K B) 23 June 1980.
Field Visit (23 November 2009)
This site consists of a large moss and heather covered mound lying very close to the eastern edge of Loch Borralan and about 20m from the road, over boggy moss and heather covered ground.
The mound may be mostly natural, measuring approximately 22m x 21m x 1.5m. No stonework or other evidence of construction is apparent.
