| Visited 12.11.18 My previous attempts at clearing up the Machermore mystery were thwarted by the presence of a bull in the wrong field. Third time lucky, armed with Canmore data I visited the remaining cairns. There are a lot of clearance cairns in this area to confuse the picture. After careful analysis of Canmore sites I have come to the following conclusions: Canmore searches for Machermore are not relevant as they are all discredited or clearance cairns. Canmore searches for Culroy have produced several clearance cairns, three ruined cairns and two well preserved cairns. 1) Canmore ID 62210 See White Cairn, Culroy 2) Canmore ID 62231 See Culroy Farm Cairn 3) Canmore ID 62260 A dilapidated cairn covered by whins and some clearance stones 4) Canmore ID 62271 This is the well preserved Barrow listed as Machermore/Culroy 5) Canmore ID 62282 A possible cairn with whins & clearance stones added. |
