Saturday, 25th November 2006

Cairn V has no cairn left to speak of, but it does have many of its chamber stones in place, although these are a bit disarrayed. Its kerb is complete and contains 30 stones.

Several of the upright stones are carved and one has a very nice spiral at its base. The passage seems to face slightly south of east, but it isn't really possible to be certain.
