Clava Cairn by Little Urchany

Scheme of the Clava Cairns

The Clava cairn of Little Urchany lies west of the hamlet of Little Urchany in Cawdor in the Highlands in Scotland .

Little Urchany is shown as Ring Cairn on the OS map , but is a more disturbed Clava- type cairn with a curb circle of large rocks for most of its perimeter. There are also three upright stones, possibly the remains of the inner stone circle.

According to Canmore, the remains are now gone.
