Camas Nan Geall

Chambered Tomb

Fieldnotes

I found the whole "Camas experience" very affecting and ended up sat on a very comfortable boulder at the top of the beach contemplating what the location has meant to so many successive generations of inhabitants.
The standing stone inscribed cross also appears to have a carved dog above the cross.
There is good parking up at the roadside with a good quality track leading down to the site.

I was quite surprised to see this site turn up on here. I visited about 25 years ago on a snowy New Years Day with some cronies. We were staying at Kentra for a week. I think the chamber was pretty big (and high) and the nearby dog carving you mention was a surprise. I do have photos somewhere but they'll be film prints - the analogue days! There was also a pretty brutal carving of a crucifixion where the body was quite contorted and looked in real discomfort. High quality Argyll School.
It is an odd little corner.
