Region : Strathclyde District : Argyll & Bute Town or village : Kilmartin Grid Reference : NR 830 984 Period : 2nd millennium BC Nether Largie North CAIRN

This bowl-shaped mound is between Nether Largie Mid and Glebe cairns in a line along the Kilmartin Valley (Argyll). The cairn is 2.7m high and about 20m in diameter. It covers a central cist now accessible through a roof hatch. The cist measures 1.6m x 0.65m and is 0.6m deep. The underside of the cist's capstone is decorated with about 40 cupmarks and 10 axehead markings. The inner face of one of the end-slabs bears two axeheads. During excavations in 1930, only a human molar tooth, a little ochre and a few fragments of charcoal were found in the cist. Another grave (an oval pit) is 3.3m north-east of the cist.
