Balnuaran of Clava Kerb Cairn
Date Added: 9th Feb 2019
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 8th Aug 2014. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Balnuaran of Clava Kerb Cairn submitted by SandyG on 8th Jan 2015. A marked contrast to the neighbouring cairns. Despite its less impressive character the presence of this cairn further emphasises the importance of the complex. It is perhaps worth noting that the stones appear to have been laid on the ground rather than erected upright in sockets. View from east (8th August 2014).

Log Text: Car parking is available at NC 72361 39899. From here it is a very long walk to the stone row. Follow the path leading south from the parking area to NC 72471 37400. Then follow the forestry fence to NC 72559 36476. Climb the stile and then follow the forest ride. It may be best to keep to the left hand side. At NC 71904 35164 cross the forest track and follow a second ride to a forest clearing at NC 71715 34933. A standing stone close to this point is not part of the row. From here the row is about 130m to the west. Having visited the row it is a long way back and you need to allow plenty of time. Alternatively if you have access to a bicycle it may be possible to follow forest tracks from a car parking area at NC 69045 42692. Either way this is not an easy row to get to.

Log Text: Sadly, car parking is available on top of the row. The stones visible next to the parking area are probably the result of the road widening work.
