This report presents the results of the excavation of a cairn at Miltown of Clava, Inverness District, Highland Region. The excavations were superficial but revealed that underneath a large spread of more recent field clearance was a prehistoric cairn probably of Clava type. The cairn was circular with an estimated diameter of 12m. To the SW of the cairn is a large standing stone and lying on the cairn was a large slab decorated with small cup marks. The presence of both these features is characteristic of Clava type cairns
