OS 6"map, Sutherland, 2nd ed., (1907)

Pittentrail: Type uncertain; Miss Henshall identifies this circle with the large chambered cairn with its entrance turned to the NE as recorded by Tait. It had been built over by 1909 when visited by the RCAHMS. According to the Ordnance Survey name Book (ONB) it "consisted of six stones, three of which are standing, the remainder lying. They are placed in a circle about 11ft in diameter and on a small mound situated in an arable field adjacent to Pittentrail Inn."

Name Book 1873; L Tait 1870; A S Henshall 1963.

No trace of the cairn is now to be seen. Mr MacKay (Corry, Rogart) pointed out the spot, coincident with the published site, where rubble stones have been ploughed up on top of a slight knoll.
