Kerb Cairn at Clava

This small monument is about 1000 years more recent than the other cairns nearby. It is thought to have contained a grave in a mound, but little was found when it was excavated. The stones are in groups of red or white, though the colours are obscured by moss and lichen, and there is a cup mark on one of the stones, possibly the threshold stone.
