This cairn is situated at the corner of a field 40m N of Tynrich. It measures 9m in diameter and 0.6m in height, and there are occasional kerb-stones visible around its edge. A depression in the centre suggests that it has been dug into at some time.

Visited by RCAHMS (SDB) 3 March 1993.

Field Visit (1 June 2009 - 30 November 2009)

NH 47056 13151 to NH 72140 40266 Recommendations for mitigation and recording arising a desk-based assessment and walk-over survey carried out in 2009 ahead of refurbishment of an overhead power line running from Daviot to Whitebridge in Inverness-shire. From this were then implemented during the refurbishment work. However in most cases it proved possible to refurbish existing poles rather than replace them; and where replacement took place the new poles were located on exactly the same sites as their predecessors. Although the work was monitored, no archaeology was affected.
