Full Description
Cairn, recorded by Headland Archaeology in 2015 ahead of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route. Topographic and photographic recorded was carried out prior to machine excavation of a section. The cairn was sub-circular in plan, measuring 12.8m by 11.4m, standing up to 1.2m, constructed of random fieldstones. It was probably a result of 20th century field clearance. No archaeological features were present beneath the cairn.
