Kerb Cairn, Clava Cairns, Inverness, 27.5.18.

The smallest of all the cairns at Clava, this was probably built around a thousand years after the others. It contains sparkling white quartz fragments which had a special meaning during the Bronze Age and has been found at multiple sites.

Little survives of the original cairn although it is known that a Pictish cremation burial took place here around 500- 600CE, close to the neighbouring ring cairn.
