Lowerbog chambered cairn
Image: © Craig Wallace Taken: 22 Aug 2012
These boulders are the ruins of chambered cairn, probably Orkney-Cromarty type. Only a few of the stones are still upright, most of the cairn material has been long since removed. It is a scheduled monument, see the Highland Council Historic Environment Record: http://her.highland.gov.uk/SingleResult.aspx?uid=MHG3409 This is in beech woodland, beside the Bog Road. A small path runs past the cairn, it looks like this has been used by mountain bikers.
