The cairns vary in size from just 3 to 20 metres across, and from 0.2 to 2 metres in height. I got the chance of photographing the largest burial cairn in the field, since its closest to the fence and the road trough the valley.
The site is in a beautiful landscape, the view of the mountains to the east and west of the valley with very steep sides is beautiful!
