The National Monuments Service's description
A group of three small possible field clearance cairns (DG029-058002/003-) situated on an E-W terrace on the S facing slope of Kinnagoe Hill. A hut site (DG029-048) is located 75m to the SW, a second cairn (DG029-058001-) is located 15m to the SE and a third cairn (DG029-058002-) is 10m to the E. These small cairns may be associated with a field system (DG029-059002-). The heather covered field walls of this field system can be seen to the N and S of the cairns. This heather covered cairn (diam. 3m; H 0.6m) may be the result of field clearance of the terrace on which the cairn is situated. A second possible hut site (DG029-059001-) is located 15m to the SW.
