Corvalley Cairn Burial Cairn
Archaeology
Early Bronze Age burial cairn. The cairn is prominently located east of the road. The substantial, grass-covered mound has a maximum diameter of about 20m and survives to a height of 1.9m. An orthostatic revetment is apparent in places, but the edge of the cairn has been lost in others.
One large chamber is exposed and measures 1.5 by 1.2m and 1.2m deep. It is of almost megalithic scale and is formed from rough blocks of quartz.
