Kinrive East Long Cairn View all content for Kinrive East

This is Kinrive Wests' wee brother. This cairn is as short as the West cairn is long. Only about 40ft long by 20ft wide, lying about 150ft east of its big brother, and sitting on a more east -west axis. To be honest it doesnt look like a long cairn. The major part of the western section of the cairn has been robbed out but the eastern part is virtually intact. There are 3 grave markers atop little mounds on the cairn - farm pets judging by the inscriptions. a bit weird and surreal seeing the cairn still being used for its original purpose.......! A large and recently placed pile of stones on top of the cairn had my imagination working overtime - no grave marker though!
