Scope and Content Ring cairn at Clava, Inverness, Highland This is one of three chambered cairns at Clava which have given a name to the whole group of similar cairns throughout the area. The cairns stand in a small wooded enclosure next to the road. There are the remains of a Bronze Age kerb cairn nearby. This is a view of the ring cairn. There is no passage to the chamber and the central area was too big to have been corbelled over. Instead this area would have been filled in with earth and stone to the level of the surrounding wall. Early excavations have destroyed most of the archaeological evidence on the site. However work done in 1953 was able to recover fragments of burnt human bone. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
