Clava Cairn in Highland. A much damaged Clava Ring cairn with a c.20m diameter external kerb of contiguous stones, the tallest being 1.5m high. A large now prostate slab of this kerb lying to the south-west has cupmarks on its inner face. The interior setting has been removed. The stone circle is 6.7-8.5m beyond the outer kerb. A wall built in the late 19th century crosses the site to the south-west.

Canmore site no. 13211.
