Glenvoidean submitted by saille on 21st Feb 2004. OS:NS999707, Isle of Bute, Kilmichael.
The cap stone is on the ground just like the Kilmichael Cairn although the cap stone has only been removed for the last 4 years.
Also looking at other pictures that i have of this Cairn iv noticed strange markings that look man made and could be Ogham, so i need to go back and have another look, if you look on the right stone at the top there is a crack which looks like a X it looks to perfect to be a crack but you never know

Log Text: The ends seem very distinct so the two sections do not seem to have ever been joined. The large section seems as it was built, the small section is dismantled. It is about the same width as a modern drystone wall at the base but tapers far less. The smaller section is at a slightly different alignment to the main piece.
It IS visible from local paths.
From the path to the north (Dales high way) through the hills, both sections are on the skyline-very prominent. This might explain the difference in orientation of the two sections.
It is also on the skyline when viewed from near the ring cairn (Lawkland) to its west (probably visible from the cairn before the modern field wall was built).

Black Hill Ring Cairn submitted by rich32 on 3rd Jun 2005. Black Hill ring cairn, Black Hill, Low Bradley Moor, North Yorks, SE0081447654
This site is hidden under quite thick heather, the only way to spot it is by its banks, which still measure 40cm or so. In this picture the light brown reedy like thing just to the left of centre, is in the centre of the cairn circle.
Once at the site, up the hill & to the south east you can see the remains of Black Hill round cairn. Low Bradley long barrow is just to the east over a rise in the landscape.
