Sitting above the A835, after Elphin heading north, park nearer the bridge crossing the River Ledmore than at the site if heading south, much safer.
A fairly easy climb up a grass covered slope leads to the easily spotted site. However once on the flat watch out some marshier areas. The kerb cairn is over 4m wide and still has the remains of a cist. Look almost straight north into Cam Loch and the crannog 'Eilean An Tighe' can be seen. If I'd known this at the time I'd have gone for a look.
Easy to spot grass covered mound on spur of land just north of Elphin on the A835
Canmore states:
‘This cairn is on a prominent spur on the north side of a hill summit. The cairn measures 4.1m across. The cist measures 1.1m long x 0.5m x 0.4m deep. The capstone, broken, lies displaced across the cist’.
