Tom Na Moine

Kerbed Cairn

Fieldnotes

From Tomatin take the minor road as it heads south west following the River Findhorn until the lodges west of Kyllachy House. After asking permission to park I headed north east and uphill following a forestry track.

Keep heading uphill until well clear of the trees, go past an unused shed until a deer gate. After the gate I headed east following the track of a dried out burn until a small bog, luckily this was reasonably dry, then head uphill again and north east. This should lead straight to the cairn.

A well preserved cist remains, with edged stones being over a meter long and 0.5 meter wide/deep. I counted nine kerbs in the cairn which is over 6m in width / 0.5m high.

A beautiful site with tremendous views, with the Rover Findhorn in the glen below, also in the glen below was a heavy rain shower which swept past ensuring I'd avoid a drenching.
