A robbed cairn is situated immediately NE of the coniferous plantation on Sheuchan Hill, about 190m SSW of the summit. It measures 22.5m in diameter but has been reduced to little more than a ring of cairn material about 3m thick and 0.4m in maximum height. An old field-bank crosses the cairn from NE to SW.
