Ever wondered how much wall you can build with the stones from a chambered cairn? Well now we know! Time’s not been good to this one.

Chambered Cairn

thelonious Aug 8, 2016

03/08/2016 – Not much to see but it’s only just up the hill from Cuag. Time’s not been good to this one as most of the stones have been reused to build a stone structure on top of the grassy mound. All a bit sad really.
