Full Description
A group of at least 20 cairns. The largest, probably a burial cairn, measures 9m in diameter and 1m high. The others range between 3m and 6m in diameter and are up to 0.7m high. Amongst the cairns are several substantial field dykes, similar in character to those on the Knappach (NO79NW0026). They pre-date the present field pattern, but not known if they are contemporary with the cairns.
