Most maps have this mound noted as a chambered cairn, a Neolithic burial monument.
Folklore in the area says it is Aant Sithe. The name implies its a type of fairy place.
The centre of the summit stands a large stone, maybe once a standing stone.
The mound itself offers amazing views across Strath.
