Notes
Butler describes as cairn. However, possibly a clearance cairn associated withthe `Bulllaven Reave'. This area has very many patches of gorse that look like they could conceal a mound but could just be vegetation. This makes identifying claimed cairns very difficult. The author looked for this cairn on 20/04/2019 and was unable to find it. Lidar data points to a possible mound at SX 64614 59684 which is close to Butler's location of SX 6459 5969 but this could not be found.References
