On a spur in rising ground on the W side of the Allt nam Breac is a cairn, partly overgrown by heather and grass, but otherwise showing considerable rubble. It is approximately 11.5m in diameter by 1.1m high. There are no visible signs of internal structuring, but the cairn is in a locale well known for its chambered cairns. The genral area is planted with conifers.
Information from OS (Inverness), 7 November 1989.
