Carn Liath Chambered Cairn, Balgown, Trotternish, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UKMore information:
View E of Carn Liath (Balgown) Neolithic chambered tomb, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK, showing remains of the Hebridean square cairn with peristalith stones at the NW corner. The retaining slabs formed projections or horns at each corner. The cairn has been much robbed for crofts & the modern drystone field wall (rear R) which runs NE-SW across the cairn. The tomb sits on the crest of a long ridge running NW-SE which once separated (the now drained) Loch Chaluim Chille from the W coast of Trotternish.
