Full Description
The site of a large cairn of stone and earth in which a cist containing human remains were found on its removal for building in 1860. The beaker (NJ44SW0014), bones and flint flakes found in the Brander Library, Huntly in 1979 may be from this cairn as ONB states that the other cairns at Cairnmore were 'undisturbed'.
