Druim nam Madagan (Torradale) Chambered Tomb View all content for Druim nam Madagan (Torradale)

From Branhunisary make your back to the road and head east. Go past the water works and take the first road south, by this time the aromas of the three distilleries on the coast should reach your nose. The site, easily spotted by the standing stone, is on the east side of the road. Only two slabs of the chamber remain, the standing stone and a possible kerb are in their original positions. The remnants of the almost 27m cairn have been reduced to a few bumps of rubble. Still the other parts of the chamber aren't far away and its easy to see why the site had, originally, a different classification. The slabs, of the chamber, have been moved to a building a few yards away. Canmore seem confused to what this building had been but having seen a few similar shapes on various isles its a safe bet it was medieval shelter for livestock. Nice site, nice aroma :-) Visited 29/7/2018.
