At a prominent location on level crag with higher ground c. 40m to the SE, but with good views from W to E. Reported by Paul Walsh in 1996. This subcircular, grass-covered cairn (diam. 12m; H 0.8-1.2m) has several later heaps of stones on it, possibly used as penitential stations. There are two hollows in the cairn. Another cairn (CL010-136----) lies c. 188m to the E. 11 penitential stations (CL010-137---- to CL010-137011-) lie c. 320m to the E along the same roadway.
