Monument record 1371 - Borve Lodge Chambered Cairn

NG09SW 1 0302 9492.

(Area: NG 031 949) A small cairn of stones (13ft diameter, and now reduced to 1ft high), is situated c.500 yards W of Borve Lodge on the summit of a slight knowe on the N side of a small burn, some 30 yards from the shore and 25ft above HWM.
There is also a rectangular enclosure (16 x 10ft) composed of large stone slabs, the northern side of which is 6ft S of the cairn. The structure has been much disturbed and probably only the N and W sides are in their original positions.
