Novar House

Cairn(s)

Fieldnotes

After visiting Carn Liath I headed back into Evanton and took the B811 heading North East. The entrance to Novar House is easy to find. Head through the gates until a wee row of houses. Bizarrely when I asked to park, which was allowed, the person I spoke to didn't have a clue what I was on about and thought the mound a wee hill.

Anyway the cairn or barrow, marked tumulus by the OS, is massive sitting at 25m wide and 4m tall. Boulders on the west and north west corner are field clearence.

I thought this a tremendous site despite the turf, trees and waste all around it.

A great location.
