I am not 100% sure that this is the remains of one of the recorded cairns or not. It seems to fit the description, but I don't know. An arc of stones that poke above the low heather could represent the kerb of a robbed away cairn. Alternatively they could be either nothing or a stone circle.

To the south of this group of stones there are several others that look as if they could be tangential alignments to the circle. Is there more to this place than meets the eye? Almost certainly. The fact that a forestry track has destroyed one side of this site could make it a good candidate for excavation.
