Visit Notes

Sunday, 25th March 2007

It's quite a walk to reach this site. I parked at the farmhouses 800m or so to the south of the site and walked up the track. This disappears and you're left with open peat bog that's been quite heavily cut. This makes crossing it very difficult.

The monument itself appears as a 35m long cigar shaped mound aligned east-west. There are no orthostats poking through the peat and heather, but one hole in the top does allow you to see some cairn material.
