The chamber here has been used for field clearance.

Compare this shot to those of Bawn posted here and you’ll understand what the owner’s son meant when he told us it was ‘in the way’.

There are quite a few fallen stones covered by the grass in the gaps of the ring.

Looking south-west.

Looking roughly north-west.

Looking roughly east.

Referred to both as a stone circle and a ring cairn, Cartron South is quite exceptional either way.

The circle stones can be seen to the right of the tree.

The field the Stane is in is now surrounded by a 2m deer fence. It can be accessed through a gate. I walked up through on a track through a field of sheep. It’s pretty impressive.

We didn’t investigate this one further. Seen from Newton Bank track to the west.

Newton Mulgrave round barrow, October 2024.

The much less impressive round barrow across the road to the southwest. Apologies for the glare, looking into the sun gave the only angle where the ‘mound’ stood out enough from the deep heather to be visible!

Looking southwest. There is another (smaller) barrow in front of the tree-line, and a further barrow and standing stone which we didn’t visit in the forestry.

The top of the barrow. It benefits from what the holiday brochure would call “sea glimpses”.

The flat-topped round barrow.

Newton Mulgrave long barrow, October 2024.

The long mound from its western end.

Looking down to the coast at Hinderwell. Hinderwell Beacon round barrow crowns the little hill in the centre of the shot.

It’s a pretty big monument, even if it is reduced from its original size.

The eastern end of the long barrow.
