Stora Rör submitted by DrewParsons on 8th Oct 2011. The 26 metre diameter cairn from the Bronze Age. Watch out for the large ants in the bush by the site sign - as I pressed towards the overgrown sign I found 20 or more large ants climbing over me in just sceonds. Some were still emerging from my clothing after I got back into the car.
