A bit of an iffy one this, as the jury is still out regarding the existance of any chambered cairns in the Cheviots, but a double row of parallel upright stones described in Northumberland County History (Vol. XV, p.38) and located at NT76410347, currently in plantation, has been interpeted as the remains of a chambered long cairn.

Keys to the past Not much more detail than is given above, but has a link to an online map showing the position of this (apparently) lost long cairn. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
