This stone row is just a few hundred yards from the Grey Cairns of Camster. According to CANMORE there are actually six rows here but they're disappearing under the peat. I found two of the rows. A couple of stones are maybe a metre proud of the peat. Others have only a few centimetres showing. Don't go hunting in wet weather or you may get sucked into the bog and never seen again!!

Lower Camster (Stone Row / Alignment) — Fieldnotes

Three fairly small stones - CANMORE thinks one of them might just be a random boulder rather than part of a setting with the two definite megaliths. The stones are near the road and in a very empty bit of flat moor, but they're low enough to be easily missed when the heather is thick. "Small stones in flat featureless moor" sounds pretty dull, but it's a lovely site! Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
