Summary
| Description |
English: Cairn Catto The south-eastern end of the cairn, also described as a long barrow, which is 48 (or 49) metres long and tapers from 22 metres wide at the south-east end to 7 metres at the north-west end. It is quite hard to see whether the surrounding whins are obscuring part of the cairn or not. It may be 3000 to 4000 years old, and its likely purpose was as a burial site. The Arbuthnott Museum in Peterhead has two stones axes said to have been found here. Fuller details at http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/21054/details/cairn+catto/ and http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/11227/catto.html#fieldnotes. The cairn is well signposted from the nearby farm of Cairncatto, but parts of the path are overgrown with whins. Probably easier (and definitely shorter) to follow the other end of the path from the field gate at NK075422. |
