Drannandow

Chambered Tomb

Fieldnotes

Not a very spectacular site but it makes part of a nice megalithic walk incorporating The Thieves and Drumfern.

Drannandow has five chambers (large but not the largest) symetrically arranged with one reasonably well preserved axial (facing E) and two pairs of opposing laterals (NW,NE,SE,SW) in poorer condition.

Sits at the head of the Coldstream Burn. Axial chamber aligned on nothing particular.

See photo captions for dimensions etc.

The public road to the site is narrow but you can park at the triangle where the farm road joins it. Ask at the farm.

Long and reasonably steep. Several gates.
