Directions:
In a field next to a minor road running behind the back of some houses just off the A85 – to the east of Oban.

In a nutshell I couldn’t see any trace of it. Perhaps it has been ploughed out?

Canmore states:
‘This cairn stands in level pasture between the railway and Achaleven Road. It appears as a grass-covered stony mound measuring 16 by 14 metres, and is 1.25 metres in height. An electricity pole has been erected on its east perimeter’
