062 An ancient Cairn situated about midway between the farmsteadings of Locholly and Mains of Fordie, it is in an entire state, oval in form and in height about 14 feet, Stone appears to have been the material used for the construction of this object, but it is now so overgrown with briars, and matted with thick coarse grass that the stones are completely hidden. There is no tradition associated with it, neither is it known for what purpose it was constructed.
"At some distance to the south-west, stands another 357 feet in circumference, and 14 feet high."
