I’m led to believe that my friend Ian Suddaby, archaeologist (and Trees fan) was responsible for the cairn remaining intact.

Kerbs on the west side poke their heads through. The dog still well behaved.

A surprisingly well behaved dog poses in the background. Underneath the clumps on the edge of the monument are kerbs.

From Forres head south on the A940 until Glenernie. Take the minor road heading east going under the impressive Divie viaduct until the tarred road ends. Keep going until the small power station (wind farm), the track is in excellent condition.

Follow the fence heading north on the west side of the station, Burn Wind Farm, which leads straight to the cairn. Fortunately the cairn has not been damaged by recent events and still sits in place.

Several kerbs can be seen in the turf, although there has been a small bit of houk damage. The cairn sits at over 8m wide and is 0.8m tall.

A very easy start to the day. Our next site wouldn’t be so easy.
