Cladh Chlainn Iain

The small Clyde Tomb by Cladh Chlainn Iain (also called Chambered Cairn) is located right next to the "Misty Pool", into which a waterfall flows, at Poll a Cheo Bay on the south coast of the Hebridean island of Jura in Scotland .
It was severely disturbed and the stone material of the stone hill is almost completely removed. The hallmark is a pair of stones that appear to have been the portal of the chamber. The stones are about one meter wide and high and are 65 cm apart. A small stone in the southeast is the remainder of a narrow exedra . The southeast side of the chamber is marked by a plate. 8.5 m behind the portal stones, the edge of small stone dry masonry marking the end of the system runs at right angles to the axis of the chamber. On the south corner there is a stone which, as the remainder of a roughly square chamber, probably had a secondary function.
