It is accessed via a forest track into Knapdale Forest which starts c. 75 yards W of the swing bridge in Cairnbaan. The cairn is unspectacular save for a large moss covered capstone on an exposed cist.

Carn Euny Fogou submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Jan 2005. This shot shows the huge but low (4.5ft - 1.4m) SE-facing doorway of the Carn Euny 'Beehive Hut' underground chamber, with its own short passage leading into the fogou passage which runs SW/NE, (but snaking here with a flatter, more W/E run), just outside the doorway. It is thought that the Beehive Hut (chamber) was the first structure on this site, so that originally the eastern wall of the fogou passage would not have obstructed the view. It is possible that the sun was meant to shine down t...

Log Text: Carn Euny is the most complete fogou I have ever visited: the round chamber is particularly impressive. If you are in the area it is a compulsory detour.

Carn Euny Village submitted by AngieLake on 31st Oct 2004. This view over the Carn Euny Settlement was taken in two shots, which are cobbled together to give an idea of how it looked in March 2004. Bec-Zog's pic is similar to this.

Carn Liath (Kensaleyre)
Date Added: 28th May 2025
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Scotland (Isle of Skye)
Visited: Yes on 9th Aug 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Carn Liath (Kensaleyre) submitted by jeffrep on 25th Jul 2013. The Carn Liath Chambered Cairn is located in a field off the A87 just south of Kensaleyre opposite the turn off to Rhenetra on the Isle of Skye, Highland, Scotland. It is the largest of a cluster of cairns here, and is easy to see from a distance, because the stones from which it is constructed are covered with such white lichen that they appear to have been painted.

Log Text: There are two difficulties in visiting Carn Liath (Kensaleyre): the lack of parking and the lack of a path. My best compromise was to park in the Church of Scotland Car Park, walk c. 300 yards along the A87 then take a cross country route c. 650 yards WSW across rough boggy ground to Carn Liath (Kensaleyre). My walking route can be viewed on Carn Liath (Kensaleyre).

Carn Liath (Skye) submitted by Andy B on 13th Apr 2010. A neolithic chambered burial cairn above the east shore of Loch Snizort. A couple of the chambers are discernible, but most of the stones have been tumbled, or plundered for dyke building.

Log Text: I was staying in Monkstadt for a week so I thought it would be relatively easy to visit Carn Liath (Kilmuir) located c. 1 mile N along the coast. As usual, 1 mile on the ground was a harder proposition than 1 mile on the map. The terrain was rough and boggy in places making progress slow. I was able to find the remains of the cairn on the N side of a dry stane dyke running ENE-WSW: The cairn has been bisected by the dry stane dyke. Canmore suggests that the S half of the cairn has been reduced to ground level. I observed two standing stones around 6 feet from the edge of the W Arc. They may be remnants of a peristalith.

Log Text: There are many good reasons to take the A897 N out of Helmsdale: Amazing Scenery, 14 Brochs listed on TMP, 36 Sites listed on TMP and last but not least 0.95 Sites per Mile.
My favourite site is The Borg, a broch c. 1 mile S of Carn Liath (Trantlemore).

Log Text: The circle of mature trees surrounding a naked cist with a massive capstone is one of my favourite sites. The trees both protect and add an air of mystery to the ancient monument.

Log Text: Carn Liath (Shurrery) is located on the E bank of Forss Water, c. 400 yards W of a dead-end track leading to Loch Shurrery. The terrain is uneven and marshy making the walk challenging. The unspectacular mound is grassy with a scattering of stones protruding through the surface. I would not recommend a visit.

NGR: SN06093930 (Landranger map 145/Outdoor Leisure North Pembrokeshire map (No 35))
Located close to the centre of Newport in Pembrokeshire with public access. Although called a tripod dolmen four uprights exist - only two of which support the capstone (which is said to replicate the summit of Carn Ingli to the south).
Excavations have revealed cremated bone, Beaker and Grooved ware sherds.

Log Text: Carreg Coetan Arthur Dolmen is enclosed by a hedge in Newport. It's survival in an urban development is against the odds so the existence of this small dolmen should be celebrated.
