These cairns are located along the east side of the River Nairn. There are three cairns in this group, two are passage burial cairns and the last is a ring type cairn. There is an approximate dating of 1500BC to 2000BC due to the loss of evidence over the years. The rocks have been taken for building material elsewhere and the burial chambers had not been properly excavated.
