View SW over the remains of Cadha Riach (Garrafad) Neolithic chambered cairn to Clachan settlement & the Trotternish Ridge, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK. Five in situ stones (2 others displaced) mark the W arc of a burial chamber within the turf-covered remains of a round cairn. Kerbstones at the E & S suggest an original diameter of now spread to c & surviving up to high. The E half of the chamber & its presumed entrance passage have been robbed away. Plain & Beaker potsherds were found in the S half of the chamber along with cremated bone.
