Drum Ddu cairns submitted by cerrig : This is listed as Hafen shelter 2 on the Archwilio website. It isn't listed on Coflein. It seems to be a much ruined cairn, with a curious "annexe" right next to it. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Drum Ddu cairns
Drum Ddu cairns submitted by cerrig : This is not listed on Coflein or Archwilio. It is definitely a something, but I'm not sure what. It could be a robbed out ring cairn, or it could be the remains of a building. It can be found at SN95779-59292. I am posting it because it is unknown, and it is also on the alignment of the Hafen stone pair? some 400 or so meters to the N/W.

Hafen cairn 2 is listed on Archwilio, in two different locations, the other one being close to hafen stone pair at SN 961-596. This other cairn 2 shares it's location, according to the database, with cairn 3 ? Coflein doesn't at present have these on their database (may 2011). There are cairns identified in this immediate area on Coflein, but on inspection they don't seem to exist ?
