A short distance south from the standing stones and over a wee hill stands a once massive cairn. Sadly the cairn has seen a fair amount of houking and probably has had its stones recycled in nearby walls and castles.

It still sits at 21m wide and is 1m tall, some trenching can be seen. Despite the damage this is an impressive place, on a clear day it looks straight down onto Kilmartin.
