That’s a length of wooden post embedded in the cairn there... having said that, this cairn’s got away lightly compared to the disgraceful acts inflicted upon some other monuments around Skelpick.

Visited 23.7.14

Directions:
Immediately south (but on the other side of the road) of Achcoillenaborgie broch.

Although close to the road this cairn was difficult to access. I had to make my way through chest high ferns and over a barbed wire fence.

There are many stones sticking out of the grass and fern covered mound.
Not much else I can add really.

The cairn occupies a prominent position in the glen.

CANMORE state:
‘A prominent turf-covered cairn on the summit of a ridge, measuring 11m in diameter and 1.2m high’
