RCAHMS Special Survey: Garadh Ban Wood

Among the special surveys undertaken by RCAHMS in 2006 was that of a chambered cairn in Garadh Ban Wood, in the hills immediately NE of Loch Lomond. Recently discovered by Mr Jim Ferrall (Firestry Commission) and identified by Ms Lorna Main (archaeologist, Stirling Council), the cairn measures 15m from N to S by 12m transversely, but it has been heavily disturbed and now stands only 0.5m in height. The ruined burial-chamber, which lies off-centre to the SW, now comprises two upright stones and two displaced capstones (DES 2006, 188).
