The notice informs visitors that this is a well-preserved example of a round cairn, built probably around 1700 BC. Two others nearby had been destroyed before the publication of the first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map. See https://canmore.org.uk/site/20804/cairns-of-memsie for more information.
