**Cnoc Chaornaidh South-east** submitted by markj99 : Interior of Cnoc Chaornaidh SE Cairn Chamber viewed from N. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Chambered Cairn in Highlands.The remains of an Orkney-Cromarty type round cairn with a polygonal chamber, set on a small level area on the hillside. The cairn material has been almost removed but it is possible to trace the outline measuring 15m E to W by 13m. The passage and chamber are entered from the SE and most of their upright slabs are still in situ, ranging in height to 1.5m, but the only remaining capstone is displaced.
