Description

This is the only clava type cairn with an intact passage ,it is narrow and very low about 3 foot. I imagined how it would be when in use to enter the covered central chamber a very overwhelming feeling. Corrimony is a very impressive Clava-style cairn. And unusual in that the passage entrance is still intact. The cairn was excavated in 1952 and traces of a crouched burial - disolved by the acidic ground water to just leave a stain of the bones - were found beneath the intact floor of the cairn.
