Tentative assumption is this is a small clearance cairn associated with the field system.

In my opinion way too big to be clearance...

Great position for a cairn, to be fair, suggesting the route followed by the ‘modern’ (ha!) road is that humankind have always taken.

Cnoc Bad A’ Ghille Dhuibh
Cairn(s)

Wasn’t sure about this at the time.... however in retrospect my thoughts concur with the Canmore record:

“...amongst the stone clearance mounds of a field system is a probable cairn. It differs from its neighbours in that it is appreciably larger, 10.0m N-S by 9.0m E-W and 0.8m high, and is of regular rounded form. No cist or kerb is exposed; the mound like the adjacent clearance is completely obscured by peat...

Visited by OS (N K B) 26 April 1977.”

I’ve also included a couple of shots of what would appear to be a small clearance cairn.
