Cladich
Cladich submitted by crannog : A short walk from the road-side A819 (to Inverary from Dalmally) Just before the turn off to Cladich (parking can be tricky!). Spectacularly situated, in its day this must have been a huge impressive looking cairn! There is a peaceful tranquility to this site. (Vote or comment on this photo)

The remains of a Clyde-type (? long) (Henshall 1972) chambered cairn stand on a slight natural knoll in a cultivated field. The cairn has been so severely reduced by stone-robbing and ploughing that, without excavation, it is not possible to determine the original outline precisely, but it was probably oval in shape, measuring at least 25 by 21 metres with the longer axis aligned NE-SW. Towards the NE end the remains of a burial chamber can be seen. It is now roofless and measures about 4 metres by 1.1 metres internally, its longer axis being aligned with that of the cairn. The stones now visible comprise the terminal slab, two adjacent on side-slabs and a short transverse slab, forming the rear compartment of the chamber, together with another side slab, one of the portal stones and what appears to be the stump of the other. Apart from the terminal slab which protrudes 0.5 metres above the ground, and the NW portal stone which stands 1.1 metres in height and is now leaning towards the SE, only the upper edges of the stones are visible. A large slab, 1 metre square and 0.4 metres in greatest thickness, is lying prone immediately SE of the chamber and is probably one of the original capstones.
A S Henshall 1972; RCAHMS 1975.
