Visited 1st August 2004: These cairns weren't high on my list of places to visit, but William and I came across them on our way to Airigh Na Beinn Bige stone circle. Because of the topography of the hillside, there's a good chance you'll get to the cairns before the circle.

They're both pretty large, and the northerly one is obviously a cairn (you can't miss it). Both are slightly to the east of the circle on the same plateau. For directions to this site see my fieldnotes for Airigh Na Beinn Bige circle.
