Remains of a cairn
See NS4682 : Remains of a cairn for the main description.

This view shows a slab, which is more or less all that now remains of the cairn, in its context; it is located among tall grasses on the top of a greenish mound.

The Fintry Hills can be seen at the right-hand edge of the photo. Note also, in the middle distance, a ridge in the right-hand half of the photo; see NS4782 : View along mound. The houses of Killearn can be seen behind that ridge.
