Rowanfield Cist submitted by caradoc68 on 30th Apr 2012. This is Rowanfield kist not to be confused with Rowanfield cottage standing stone even though they are close.
This kist is very atmospheric underneath it tree cover and a joy to see.

Log Text: Unlike me but I found this a little spooky. In the woods the light changes under the pine trees. There is a large natural rock outcrop to the southern end of the woods, lots of new animal bones on floor. There are numerous rocks all through which have been drawn up by the tree roots, there also appears to be other areas which have been dug out. Cist is to the northern end of the woods. Still well worth visiting.

Ri Cruin submitted by caradoc68 on 23rd Feb 2012. This lovely cairn dates from the Bronze Age and is pretty new when it comes to the Kilmartin landscape. Hidden away in some trees just of the beaten track with its two kist's, this Cairn has a lot to offer with its large Kist's and its rock art of axeheads and possibly a caving of a boat in one of these kists !!.

Trudged through boggy field down from the whangie (a natural rock formation) which overlooks this area adding to the ambience following the forest fenceline.
