Nether Largie

Visited 30.04.10

Nether Largie Standing Stone is located c. 150 yards NNW of the Great X of Kilmartin. The c. 5 ft tall stone had a c. 30 degree lean to the SE when I visited but it was reset to a vertical position in 2015. Canmore ID 39487 (go to Links) has pictures of the erect stone taken in 2019 in My Canmore contributions.

Miscellaneous

Warehouse E
Chambered Tomb

I think that the Name and Grid Reference of this site are wrong. The pictures on this page correspond to Warehouse N (according to Canmore ID 9048) which is located c. 200 yards N of Warehouse S & W. The correct Grid Reference given by Canmore is ND 30567 42276.

Badnabay

Visited 03.09.21

Despite being on the fashionable NC500 route the footfall on Badnabay Chambered Cairn is unlikely to increase dramatically. It is c. 70 yards SW of the A894, obsured by long grass. The visible remains of Badnabay Chambered Cairn consist of 4 grey standing stones measuring c. 3 ft delineating the N and W Arcs of the chamber. Several other stones just break through the turf or are hidden in heather. Canmore ID 4684 (go to Links) states that the “main compartment is oval, 10 ft 4 ins by 8 ft 9 ins, and built of taller stones, the largest 3 ft 8 ins high.”

Ach A’ Chorrain S

Visited 03.09.21

Ach A’ Chorrain S Cairn lies c. 230 yards E of the A838 on a heathery slope c. 1 mile S of the Kyle of Durness. According to Canmore ID 4827 (go to Links) Ach A’ Chorrain S Cairn measures “about 15.0m in diameter and 1.7m high, largely of bare rubble stones.” There is a cavity in the E Arc with a possible displaced capstone.
Ach A’ Chorrain Chambered Cairn is c. 0.5 miles NNE around 0.25 miles E of the A838.
