Balnuaran of Clava, South-west (INV 10), NH 756 443 NH74SE 4

A Clava passage-grave within a circle of stones, of which ten are standing (one cup-marked) and one is prostrate; originally a twelfth stone probably stood in the gap on the SE. The cairn, measuring 16m in diameter over a kerb of graded boulders, is surrounded by a platform of stones extending outwards for up to 4.7m. The chamber, which measures 4m in diameter, is entered from the SW. Cup-marks occur on one of the stones on the S side of the passage, and on one of the boulders forming the wall of the chamber.
