Full Description

Possible Chambered Cairn noted. Information from Anna Welti 05/06/05 <1>

NH 23310 74874 Several large stones, possibly structured, with an interior void, set on a slope c 50m above Allt a Mhadaidh. Two large stones are set into the hillside near this structure, one 100m SW, one a further 20m SSW. These line up roughly with the standing stones on the Allt a Mhadaidh bank (NH27SW 2).
Further investigation is planned for 2006, to establish whether this line of possible cairns has archaeological significance.
