Moss Farm Road

On the approach to Machrie Moor from the A841 you will walk past this burial cairn, the historic Scotland plaque seems unsure of what it is....

“Is it a stone circle with a later burial cairn built inside it or is it simply a cairn with a permanent stone kerb?”

I think the latter, but you can correct me on that.

Whatever it is, it augments the approach to the amphitheatre of Machrie Moor – watch carefully as you approach, other standing stones will become evident on the way to the main sites.
