Full Description
A large oval shaped cairn of stone (Plate 15), with possible kerbing visible on its S arc, indicates that this may be an older, more carefully constructed cairn than the scatter of largely linear clearance cairns fitting in with the rig and furrow cultivation of the pre-clearance era. It is set in the grassy sheep park of Cladh Maireannach, and measures 9m x 6m with its long axis trending 1600 and is 1.2m high. Its N half has exposed boulders which are football-sized and its S half is grass-covered.
Possibly Bronze Age in date. <1>
