Dalineun submitted by hamish on 17th Feb 2004. On your way to Strontoiller you must visit this lovely Cairn at Dalnaneun Farm.The chamber and capstone are completely exposed and not much of the original covering is left.It is interesting to see the construction of one of these.Plenty of places to park,but access is over a barbed wire fence which is just at crotch height so be careful.

Dalinaneun Farm Cairn 2 submitted by caradoc68 on 15th Feb 2012. This cairn stands to a height of 1.8 metres above the surrounding field, but it has been enlarged to its present diameter of 31.4 metres by the dumping of cairn material round the perimeter when the central area was pillaged in the 19th century.
