South of Loch Assynt, in the Inverpolly National Nature Reserve on the far north-west of the mainland, there is a chambered cairn fifteen metres from where the A837 crosses the Ledbeg River.

It has been mostly robbed of stones; only the end stone and one side stone---just over a metre tall--- of the chamber still stand, although other large blocks from the cairn still lie close at hand. Part of a ring of kerb stones still remains to the south of the cairn.
