oldman visited on 29th Jun 2019 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 The cairn is in a field of cows surrounded by double barbed wire fences. It is only possible to get to the first fence and take pictures from there. At least half of the height of the cairn is hidden by gorse so it is only possible to see the stones forming the top of the cairn.

A long cairn in Aberdeenshire, a great mound of bare stones, some of considerable size. In spite of much disturbance the plan is fairly clear, giving a length of 157 feet NW-SE and a breadth of 73 feet across the SE end, which is straight with rounded corners, and 22 feet across the square NE end to which the sides taper regularly.

Cairn Catto submitted by oldman : There is no footpath but the gate to the field was not locked when we were there and it is not difficult to walk to the cairn. (Vote or comment on this photo)
