Replying to Hob

>>>> I'd even suggest that the tmaEds would be doing their viewers a big favour if 'Clava Cairn' were added as a separate sub-category of cairn

Good idea Hob! I'd support that. There are, tops, 70 sites which could be classed as a Clava cairn (with a passage grave or just a cairn) which must be more than the numbers in many of the existing categories. (How many platform cairns do we have??)

At a rough guess, I'd say up to half of these are already on TMA - but these will be the best preserved ones most would want to visit.

I'd say it's a good idea too. it might also help with the following, but this might just be me.

Is it right that these various clava cairns are subsites under 'Clava Cairns'. I mean, they're up to 14km apart. It's comprehensive either - there are other sites in the area that are clava cairns but are standalone sites....

It kind of means that the 'Clava Cairns' page http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/486 is actually a 'type of monument' page, rather than a 'site' or 'neighbouring sites' page.

I mean Corrimony's a clava cairn isn't it? That's 40 km away, but the point I'm making is where do you draw the line?
