Corrimony cairn

The Corrimony chambered cairn belongs to the type of Bronze Age burial monuments known as Clava cairns. They are characterized as having a burial tomb enclosed by a large mound of small stones and encircled by larger stones. The site was excavated by archaeologist, Professor Stuart Piggott, in 1952. During excavation, a crouched inhumation burial was found in the central chamber under a floor of flagstones. The only artefact uncovered during the excavation was a bone pin, which now is in the National Museum of Scotland. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1994.
