Knockan Chambered Cairn View all content for Knockan

Failed to spot these two chambered cairns. The ground here is very steep, rough and has lots of natural boulders scattered about. Canmore states: Knockan 1 ‘An overgrown mound of debris 17.5m x 15m x 1.5m high. Just west of the centre is a triangular shaped slab 1 m high x 3mm thick with another 1.5m to the south protruding through the turf. Both slabs are undoubtedly part of a chamber of uncertain plan’. Knockan 2 ‘The cairn survives as a turf covered mound of debris. It is now roughly oval and measures 15m x 10m x 1.5m high. From the summit of the mound the tops of 5 stones of the chamber protrude to a height of 0.5m’.
