The badly robbed north section.

The front door is on the north east.

Difficult to spot, this section is partially galleried.

The south wall, looking on to West Loch Tarbert.

The northern defence, a cliff. The fieldnotes to reach here will be good.

Taken from the road, north eastish.

Nice crop of lichen.

Looking straight east.

Looking south east.

From the north east.

From the north west.

Beyond is Kilmartin Glen.

Taken from north

The ridge behind has two cists and a fallen standing stone, plus probably quite a few other sites.

The west side of the much robbed cairn.

From the east side.

Tree roots causing the most damage.

From the west side.

A tree giving a reasonable impersonation of a monster.

The cist cover looking north west.

Looking south, well drenched.

The last monument on the ridge before heading downhill.

Certainly a nice shaped stone.

Looking towards the south.

Removed from its original position and left here.

The natural mound and another incoming drenching.

Most of the cist is here, some rough treatment.

This site will gradually vanish.

On top of a natural mound.

A wee bit further in.

A wee crawl underneath.

Despite its condition, there is something magical about Kilchoan.

Looking north west.

What a place this must have been.

A good impersonation of a clam.

Some stones in the right place, some in the wrong place.

Looking south.

Kilchoan on a very wet day.

The sun made things slightly easier – for a minute.

An attempt to see underneath the cover stone.

The missing slab.

2.35m, a large cover.

From the north.

Look very closely, other features might be spied beneath the water. Snorkel next time :-)

This gives, I think, the best view of the top of the slab.

Our attempt to land, after the successful visit to Eilean Mor, was foiled by a change in wind direction.
