Lochbuie Kerb Cairn
Lochbuie Kerb Cairn submitted by Nick : Set in a group of trees around 100m NW of the stone circle, this rather ruinous kerb cairn still retains sufficient structure to make it worth a look. It is about 6.5m across, and has a 'false' entrance to the SE. The stones on the northern and southern arcs are still pretty much in situ. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Kerb Cairn in Mull. Set in a group of trees around 100m NW of the stone circle, this rather ruinous kerb cairn still retains sufficient structure to make it worth a look. It is about 6.5m across, and has a 'false' entrance to the SE. The stones on the northern and southern arcs are still pretty much in situ.

Update November 2019: For more information about the related stone row, visit the Stone Rows of Great Britain's entry for Loch Buie, which includes a plan of the row and its relationship to the other prehistoric sites in the vicinity.

Absolutely delightful, despite being in a rather sorry condition. Very muddy and boggy approach, wellies highly recommended!
