markj99 visited on 30th Apr 2010 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Barsloisnoch cists are only to be found by those looking for them. They lie in marshy pasture land adjacent to Barsloisloch Farm. Barsloisnoch SE cist has an impressive capstone, well worth a small detour while visiting the Kilmartin sites.

Barsloisnoch Cists are located c. 150 yards E of Barsloisnoch Farm in rough pasture, c. 75 yards S of the minor road to Crinan Ferry. Barsloisnoch SE cist (NR 8136 9567) is located in a patch of marsh. The cist is buried up to ground level. It has an impressive sub-rectangular capstone slab measuring c. 9 x 4 x 0.75 feet. The second ruined cist, Barsloisnoch NW (NR 8135 9568), is located c. 10 yards NW on a stony grass mound. The remains of the cist consist of one upright side slab and a small capstone slab, measuring c. 4.5 x 2.5 x 0.25 feet, in a shallow hollow. The measurements and grid references were taken from Canmore ID 39476. Further information is available in Canmore ID 39476.
