Full Description
Remains of a cairn. The present remains give the superficial appearance of a horned cairn. A large cairn, presumably this one, was excavated by Aberdeen Educational Trust in 1880 but nothing was found. The cairn incorporates large quantities of field-gathered stones, and the present mound may be the result of modern clearance on the site of the prehistoric cairn.
