Despite its large size I could not find this cairn, nor its two near nieghbours, another cairn and an enclosure of some sort.
It didnt help when the river that the map says its next to was all dried up making me wonder if I was in the right place at all.
My only defence is the heather and bracken that covers everything, and hides it from even the most ardent of cairn hunters.

A mutilated cairn, 21m in diameter and 2.2m high...
Is all that coflein says of it, to me anything over a metre high is worthy of a visit.
