NC70NW 38 7431 0536
At NC 7431 0536 on the NW upper slopes of Cnoc na h-Airde and in a hut circle-associated field system (NC70NW 37) is a mound, possibly a cairn. It is symmetrical, flat-topped and peat-covered, slightly depressed in the centre, and measures 8.1m E-W by 75m and 0.5m high.
No cist or kerb is exposed. This mound differs from the numerous stone clearance heaps in the area only in respect of its size (the clearance is 3.0 to 5.0m in average diameter) and symmetry.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
