Cairn, Kilmartin Valley, Argyll, Scotland - Cairns on Waymarking.com

The oldest burial site,one of three lined cairns in Kilmartin Valley, is the chambered round cairn Nether Largie South, dating from the Neolithic and built on the valley floor, near the centre of the line of tombs. This cairn has a diameter of over 40 m (130 ft) with an oblong (6 x 1.2 m/20 x 14 ft) central chamber constructed of schist slabs and drystone walling, entered from the north. In the edge of the cairn are two stone cists (one visible), probably inserted later in the Early Bronze Age.

We visited this Cairn while on a quest to find my ancestors at Campbeltown, Scotland.
