Full Description
A number of clearance cairns lie within coniferous woodland east of the large cairnfield at East Brathens (NO69NE0034) and may be in fact be an extension of it. The cairns are scattered and moss-covered, varying in size with largest observed being circa 6 m in diameter. No evidence of field banks or hut-circles were noted at time of visit (2003), but thinning may mean more features will be revealed.
