Easily missed, this pair of cairns have been heavily robbed and are now little more than low grassy mounds in pasture.
The larger cairn (Canmore link) is close to the edge of a relatively level part of the slope and looks down over the Lake of Menteith and into the Forth valley. There are several large boulders around it which may have formed part of a kerb around the cairn.
A little further back from the slope, about 100m north, is another cairn (Canmore link) without a surrounding kerb - smaller, more heavily robbed, and more easily overlooked.
1/15 The two cairns; the smaller on the right and the larger further away on the left.
2/15 The two cairns; the smaller in shadow on the left on this side of a fence, the larger in sunlight on the far side of the fence.
