drolaf visited on 6th May 2023 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 5 Access: 2 a large chambered cairn with large north facing facade. At its tail is a much smaller chambered cairn facing west. The cairns are on a 'land island' surrounded by lower land, with steep down hill to east (to the coast) and steep uphill to the west. Extensive views to Goatfell NNW.
