The National Monuments Service's description

Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of the most SW summit of Forth Mountain and close to Skeater Rock. A cairn of stones (diam. c. 30m) was removed in 1884 when a 'bowl food vessel' was discovered (Ffrench 1895). The cairn was completely removed and its precise location is not known. (Culleton 1984, 33 4)
