Field Visit (19 August 1942)
Standing Stone and Tumulus.
S of Fowlis Wester at the junction of the road from that village with the Perth-Crieff highway are remains of a large cairn some 130' across which looks as if it had been much disturbed. On its E edge stands an earthfast stone 3'9" x 2'8" x 2'4" facing E. There are several other large stones on the perimeter of the cairn but these are not earthfast.
