Full Description

E 429:
The whole flat valley on the foot of Ben Scrien is covered with a light stone scatter.
Interpretation: It is nearly impossible to say whether these stones are eroded from the heights of Ben Scrien and fallen down to the valley or if some of them were brought deliberately to this place. Still, it is possible that cairns or other stone structures were built at this site.
