The view back up Loch Shin and the badly sited telecoms mast. This shot makes it look like it’s a tiny five stoned circle but evidently there are a lot of other stones lying around covered by the long grass.

Despite the intrusive mast, this is a great site. Looking towards Loch Shin.

For access, see Ord North.

The round cairn has now largely disappeared but would have been about 15m diameter. The low stones of the chamber and passage remain visible.
