NH63SE 2 6835 3318
(NH 6835 3318) Stone Circle {NR}
OS 6" map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1905)
A Clava passage-grave - the cairn is overgrown with shrubs and has been so much robbed that all the cairn material has been removed.
The kerb has a diameter of 35 ft. and the passage runs from the SSW. Fraser (J Fraser 1884) noted three large slabs, 8 ft. to 12 ft. 6" long lying outside the kerb, presumably fallen monoliths of a circle surrounding the cairn. The two to the south are no longer to be seen and that to the NE has been shifted nearer the kerb.
(J Fraser 1884; A S Henshall 1963, visited 8 April 1957).
The remains of the cairn are as described above. It is mutilated and overgrown with bushes and trees.
Survey at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (W D J), 10 September 1963
