A clearance cairn was reported from this general area in 1970. A mound, shown in the present picture, is perhaps that cairn. In a photograph from this side, its form as a mound is not clearly evident. For a view from the other side, and for a link to the original report, see Image It is more obvious from that picture that there is a mound here.
