Kerb Cairn in Argyll
This cairn is listed as Canmore ID 38670 which tells us: "On the S flank of Cnoc a' Chuirn Mhoir, about 170m S of the summit, there is a large cairn measuring about 17m in diameter and 1m in height; some possible kerb-stones mark its W perimeter, but its N edge is buried under field-gathered stones, and a small enclosure of comparatively recent date overlies the cairn."
Directions on how to find this site, together with a brief archaeology and history, is also given on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for Cnoc a’ Chuirn Mhoir, Jura, Argyll.
