Greadal Fhinn submitted by MDunbar : Visited on 01/04/18 on a beautiful day. Access is more straightforward than it looks. Park outside the shop, then walk back towards the Sanna road, just for about three or four houses. You will see a path going up to a croft. Carry on up and there are various open gates to go through (Vote or comment on this photo)
Chambered Cairn in Argyll. Seven upright stones and one of the capstones of the passage-grave survive, and the stumps of two other stones are still visible. Aligned ESE and WNW and entered through a short passage measuring 1.4m by 0.9m, the chamber is composed of five substantial slabs still standing to a height of 1.55m.
