Case 5. Mainly broken and damaged examples.
You can see one stone in the foreground and two just peeking through the reeds at the back.
That’s it, basically.
General view from the N.
Usually described as a Clyde cairn but the low septal stones in the chambers and the absence of any portal arrangements has led it to also be described as hybrid between Clyde and the Bargrennan passage grave tradition also found in this area.
The cairn is roughly 24m long and up to 15m wide.
SW chamber from SW.
3.4m long. Two chambers.
NW chamber from W.
3.3m long. Two compartments. Bones optional.
SE chamber from N.
2.5m long. Two compartments.
NE chamber from S.
3.6m long. Two compartments.
E chamber from E.
2.8m long. Two compartments.
E chamber from N.
Worms-eye view of E chamber.
General view from S-ish showing the facade.
The stone in the centre is 1.7m high.
From the NE.
The cairn is about 25m long aligned facing the SE. Unusually far round the compass for a Clyde cairn – if that is what it is.
Close up of the facade. 11m wide x 4.5m deep.
April 2004 and the paint is still there.
The E side of the stone.
Cups with single partial rings.
Another view of the E side from a different angle.
