Right next to the small road at Skelpick, the biggest cairn is very impressive, still retaining a chamber and the forecourt is still in good nick too. The same can't be said for the northern one though the chamber is all gone except for one orthostat and the area where it should be has been used as a rubbish dump. The southern cairn is still cool though, with good views up and down the the river Naver .

Remains of two (possibly three) chambered cairns. The S structure is the best preserved. The N structure may be two cairns back to back. Next to single track road but parking straightforward.
