Inver Aulavaig 1 submitted by uisdean : The ruined cairn above the Allt an Leth-bheinn. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn in Isle of Skye

A ruinous cairn and cist on the top of a steep crag about 40 feet on the SW side of a burn the Allt an Leth-bheinn, above a ruined croft house. The cairn has been much robbed for building materials. A search among the heather revealed the cist referred to in RCAHMS (NG61 SW2), which is formed of four slabs of reddish grit and measures 2ft 9ins in length, 2 ft in breadth and 2ft 6ins in depth and is oriented ENE by WSW. RCAHMS refers to the side slab of a second cist still in position 1 ft to the E; this was not identified on my visit.

These sites 1&2 either side of the river are to be found at Canmore under "Sron Daraich, Skye". After visiting the sites yesterday I've spent a very long time trying to find this location on the www. Having firstly noticed it on the 1:25000 OS map I searched under Tokavaig, then Inbhir Amhlabhaig, then Sron Daraich.

Can the different names please be cross-referenced?
