Age of Bronze
Swaites Hill 'Hero's cairn' - South Lanarkshire
Glancing up from the busy road that traverses the valley of the River Clyde, you can see the remains of what was once a great Early Bronze Age burial cairn silhouetted against a wintry sky. For the inquisitive visitor who steps out of their car a steep climb through the fields of the farm brings an open view of the surrounding landscape and, just as the crest of the ridge is reached, a close-up view of what little is left.
