From the front (NE).
Showing the portal stones originally spanned by a lintel.
From SE.
Showing the broken capstone and the differently shaped portals.
From S.
The 2.4m long NW sidestone does not currently support the capstone.
The chamber end of the 30m long cairn and some of its stones.
From the SW against a threatening sky.
The scant remains of the chamber. Orientated NE. The portal stone is top left.
Really all there is to see here.
Two panoramic views to give an idea of the open space around this cairn.
On top is the view from the NE looking at the chamber end of the cairn.
Below is the view from the SE.
The cairn is 33m long and up to 19m wide.
Looking SE to chamber area.
Probably a single-compartment chamber although it is irregularly built. Widely spaced double portal stones at its entrance.
Looking NE over the chamber (and a portal stone) to the distant view up Loch Awe. The Ben Cruachan peaks are in the distance.
Yes, that’s it.
A 0.8 x 1.1m single compartment chamber and a displaced capstone.
Still, I got there before the bracken concealed it. Lucky that.
The slipped capstone and the surviving portal stone (2.0m high).
Looking roughly NE along the axial chamber.
A bit dark but it gives some impression of the view from the cairn.
Looking SW towards the Arran Hills.
The three-compartment chamber from the S.
Most of the interesting stuff is hidden under the vegetation centre left.
Looking SW over the NE chamber which has been partly destroyed by a wall. The capstone now lies at an angle.
The cairn looking along its N facing alignment.
The S axial chamber can be seen.
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.
