Full Description
NC70SW 51 7318 0265
This extensively-robbed chambered cairn is situated on the crest of a low ridge to W of the Millnafua Bridge. The cairn comprises a mound of stones 0.6m in height and measures 8.3m from NW to SE by 7.5m transversely, but may originally have been as much as 16.5m in diameter (Henshall and Ritchie 1995). A displaced lintel on the SE edge of the stony mound marks the position of the entrance passage, the line of which is continued by two paired portals, the NW of which lie on the SE side of what may have been the ante-chamber. The ante-chamber measures about 1.5m from NW to SE by at least 1m transversely, with the position of the chamber indicated by a hollow in the cairn to the NW.
