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. However, Lidar data indicates the possibility of a mound at SX 64615 59588 which is very close to this grid reference - but this could not be found.References
