Description

Ancient burial cairns. There are two cairns with three separate chambers you can go inside. Free parking at the roadside. The monument consists of a long cairn and a round cairn. The long cairn has two internal chambers and the round cairn a single chamber with three compartments. The cairns are hauntingly sited on a windswept moor, in the middle of the famous Caithness Flow Country. This lonely location has likely aided the cairns preservation, protecting them from the ravages of modern farming.
