Cairn(s)

Miscellaneous

Whilst trawling through coflein I came upon this
interesting sounding cairn, it's now on the list of places to go.

Cairn consisting of two very large slate slabs sitting on top of one another. The top stone is at least 1.8m long and 0.8m wide with possible polished stone axe grooves or incised rock art. The rock art consists of approx. 20 incised lines, 'v' shaped in profile and roughly 5-8mm deep and between 10cm-30cm long. 5 other quartz blocks are placed around the slab. Cairn is situated on a knoll with views to the sea and up the valley. Might be capstone of dolmen?

rock art ? dolmen ? I'm on my way. (almost)
