Full Description
Site of a cairn. Eleven cup-marked stones formed this cairn, which later field investigation failed to locate. Six small cairns at NJ 3928 3399 are probably field clearance heaps associated with a derelict croft. Arrowheads, spearhead and scrapers have been found in area. One stone is in the NMS and one in the British Museum. The site was visited in May 2019 by Scotland's Rock Art Project, but no evidence was found of the cup-marked stones in the area around Greenloan Farm.
