Glean Udalain Cairn (Cairn(s)) — Fieldnotes |
|
Plenty room to park to the north east of the cairn near the A890. As you come through the woods heading south, keep an eye on the west side of the road for remnants of the old single track main road. Park near the Allt Gleann Udalain Burn at a gate, this is indicated on the OS map. From here its a sometimes boggy, sometimes a path but mainly turf covered route to the site, heading south west. Basically follow the main road. The cairn is grass covered but stonework can be felt underfoot. It must have been huge as the footprint is at least 27m, despite the covering different levels can just about be seen. I thought it resembled a Wessex type cairn. If you look back up the A890 you can see where to park. Spaces are further south but a deer fence and locked gates get in the way. Further up the gate can be opened. Despite a murky day, great views of the nearby dam and surrounding hills. Visited 03/08/2023. |
