**Gartnagreanoch** submitted by mickm : View looking SW showing the facade. Excavations by Craw in 1929 revealed a Bronze Age cist built up against the right hand stone but this is no longer visible. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Chambered Cairn of Clyde type situated in the Knapdale forest about 1.5 miles south of the Crinan canal in Argyll.
