Image of Daviot (Clava Cairn) by GLADMAN

Dull, overcast, rainy afternoon... but there was ‘something’ about this site that impressed. Greatly.

The kerb is pretty hefty in places, it has to be said.

Where has this beauty been for the past 20 years? Glad I finally got around to visiting after numerous false starts. Gorgeous.

Not much survives of this Clava ring cairn. Two circle stones (the taller 2.5m) and some bits of inner and outer kerb.

Access in this case was just a straight line from the nearest road. Through some marshy ground, up a hill and over two fences. Unsubtle but quick.
