OS 6" map (1964)
This cairn is situated at a height of 2004ft OD on the summit of Jeffries Corse, and on the county boundary. It is reported (Name Book 1855) to have been very large at one time, but is now reduced to a roughly circular stony mound overgrown with grass. It measures about 35ft in diameter and stands to a height of 4ft. A large stone lying on the NW edge of the cairn bears an Ordnance Survey bench mark. (This would in fact be the original Triangulation Station (displaced) which the ONB notes was inserted in the centre of the cairn).
