My 200th site added (never thought that would happen!)
I awoke this morning suffering from my second stomach bug of the holiday, which is strange given than I am rarely ill. However, as this was my final full day on Orkney I was determined to battle on and visit as many of the sites on my itinerary as possible.
Looking at the O/S map it looked as though these Barrows would be easy enough to spot from the road but I couldn’t see any.
I certainly didn’t feel up to hiking across fields so left it at that.
Canmore states:
‘A scattered group of 11 mounds varying from 17 to 30ft in diameter and up to 3ft in height – 1946.
Of the 11 barrows described be the Commission, one has disappeared and the others have been reduced by ploughing’.
