Burial Cairn, Cairnholy II
This Clyde-type chambered cairn is traditionally the tomb of
Caldus, the mythical Scottish King. Its outline is roughly oblong,
measuring 23m by 12m, including a pair of portal stones. There was
also a very shallow v-shaped forecourt.
Excavated by Piggott and Powell in 1950, the rear chamber had
been previously robbed, and the other disturbed, but a leaf-shaped
arrowhead and a flint knife of Arran-type came from the filling,
along with secondary sherds of Bronze age Beaker pottery.
