The SE chamber (I didn’t even realise there were other chambers in this tomb).

As good as it gets.

The three-compartment SE chamber looking from the entrance.

The two septal stones are visible.

Must remember to take some basic gardening equipment on these trips.

This one is worse.

The SW chamber. With the eye of faith you can see two septal stones. The dark mass on the right conceals the side stones.

Dunan Mor

This is one of two chambered cairns on a forest walk.

This is the one you come to first – known as Dunan Mor. An easily-missed arrow on a post points the way to the lower Dunan Beag.

Covered in vegetation which is a pity because the round cairn covers an unusual arrangement of three chambers in a Y-shaped layout. The SE chamber is the most visible.

I would think this relates to Dunan Mor (or Dunan Beag) as they are near to North Blairmore. You’d think there would be nearer stones to use.

On the farm of Blairmore, near the base of Dunfiun, may be seen the scattered ruins of a chambered cairn. On the stones being carried away some years ago, to build the Lamlash school-house, a series of inner cells was exposed, each covered with a single flat stone.
