Tomfat Plantation

The Neolithic chamber grave ( English Chambered Cairn ) in the Tomfat Plantation is located south of Inverness the B861 and east in the Highlands in Scotland .

The megalithic complex has suffered over the years, but a large cobblestone still stands at the end of a sunk, long rectangular chamber, on a small hill at the end of a low north-south ridge.

Nearby is the Cairn of Gask .
