Binn Hill submitted by wiccaman9 : Binn Hill Cairn, Very difficult to find at the best of times, very overgrown with bracken. Littered with numerous boulders and stones however, revealing the cairn's identity, within the dense forest Aron Bowers (Vote or comment on this photo)
Round Cairn in Moray.
A surprisingly large burial cairn, but rather difficult to find. Divinatory skills required.

The OS maps are accurate in its position, but overgrown trees make it difficult to see from the woodland path. Overgrown with bracken, even in winter, when discovered - numerous accumulations of old weathered stones become apparent, traceable into a ring structure, almost like a kerb cairn, albeit the stones are few in number, but make up for in size, in an otherwise woodland area barren of large stones.
