Stittenham Cairn(s) View all content for Stittenham

The chamber cairn at Sittenham was badly robbed just like its neighbour at Stittenham Farm but at least its chamber remained. From the chamber cairn I went back to the road, back to place I parked but deciding to not use the skating rink aka the farm road I jumped the fence and headed south east. Remains of the cairn are behind a barn. Once again a huge site, almost 33m wide has been reduced / robbed to almost nothing. A few kerbs remain in situ in what might have been a double kerb, these being in an circular side about 13m wide. The depression in the middle has been further depressed by the addition of field cleared boulders. On a brighter note a guarding sheepdog was very well behaved and earned a sandwich. The bright spot in a 'what if' site. Visited 03/01/2023.
