OS 6" map (1966)
The Ordnance Survey Name Book (ONB) records that a cist containing human remains was found here in March, 1836. After lying open for a few days, it was covered over again, and in 1929, when visiting the site, a small hollow in the summit of a slight ridge, Callander saw the top of one of the slabs, but the site was overgrown in 1956 and no part of the cist was visible then.
