Scope and Content Chambered cairn at Dalineun, Lorn, Argyll This chambered cairn is at Dalineun, Lorn and is sometimes referred to as Loch Nell South. The mound contained both a Clyde type chamber and a large cist, buried in a pit at the entrance. This probably had to do with ceremonial activities. This is a view of the cairn taken during the excavation. It shows the chamber, constructed out of six large stone slabs, and the entrance. The large stone in front was the lintel, originally supported by the two portal-slabs behind it. Finds from the site include sherds of neolithic pottery, three Beakers and a Food Vessel. The cist in front of the chamber contained gravel and the cremated bones of an adult and child along with animal bones such as pig phalanges. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
