Glennan Cairn 2

Cairn(s)

drewbhoy Jul 24, 2023

A wee jump from the bigger next door cairn will see you land on a cairn that is over 6.5m wide and almost 1m in height. Also like its neighbour there has been some houking to the centre. Hints of a kerb remain.

Overlooked by most, but another part of this countryside’s jigsaw.
