markj99 visited on 30th Apr 2010 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 2 Kilchoan Chambered Cairn is located c. 150 yards NW of Kilchoan Lodge. On my visit there was a herd of bullock around the cairn, churning the grass to mud. The jumble of large stones become a large passage and chamber with time and imagination. The site is off the beaten track but more than rewards the expenditure of energy.
