Taken 14th August 2004: Here is a reconstruction of one of the Upper Largie cists in Kilmartin House. The little piece of card reads...
This is one of the stone graves or cists found at Upper Largie. The pot inside (a reconstruction) dates to between 2,000 and 1,500 BC.
An obscure page on the Kilmartin House web site describes Upper Largie as follows:
The site consisted of four cists and four other features (two of which may have been cists) which were situated on the summit of a gravel terrace near Kilmartin. Out of these one cist was repositioned after excavation but was later partly covered by a layby and is now largely overgrown, and the other cists are no longer apparent.
The site also states that, “this site is on private land and permission should be sought.”
The easiest way to see something from Upper Largie is to visit Kilmartin House where one of the cists has been reconstructed.
A web page from the Kilmartin House web site describing the four cists found at this site (plus other ambiguous features).
