Full Description
Remains of a prehistoric cairn, and the site of a 19th century Ordnance Survey trigonometrical survey point (OS trig point) depicted on historic OS maps. The cairn is located at circa 360 m OD immediately northeast of the summit of Glaschul Hill, and is roughly circular in plan, circa 23 m in diameter and 2.5 m high. It appears to have suffered some damage by investigation in antiquity. An enclosure comprising a stone wall is attached to the west.
