From the west, the sheer number of boulders dumped behind the recumbent setting is at its most impressive. Most of them have been dumped since 1901 when a surveyor photographed the standing stones almost free of obstructions. See https://canmore.org.uk/site/17855/cairnton for more information. Image]
