This 1.7m stone plus some field clearance are all that remain of this possible Clava cairn.

Clava Cairn

Some describe this site as a Chamber Cairn others the remnant of a Clava Cairn. What remains is one standing with several lying beside it along with some field clearance. The main view is towards the Moray Firth to the north. Cars can be parked on the verge of the A96 with site being visible from the road near the Allanfearn farm.

Very frosty! 29/12/08.

Not too much here worth bothering about. Most of the stones are field clearance and only historical evidence can classify it as a Clava cairn.

Visible from the A96.

Like Cullernie not much here as the site is lobbed in with others in a similar condition.
