Carn Ban chambered cairn, Isle of Arran, Ayrshire photographed c.1993.
This is a huge pile of stones built on the lip of a steep hillside. Secondary cists can be seen, but little of the original chambered cairn.

Carn Ban chambered cairn, Isle of Arran, Ayrshire photographed c.1993.
Here is one of the exposed chambers to the main cairn, little of the original capstones and mound being in place. An interesting site, but not for the novice archaeologist or sightseer.

Carn Ban, Isle of Arran, Ayrshire photographed c.1993.
This is the soutern end of the chambered cairn, a vast pile of loose stones cascading down the hill. The setting is on a steep slope within forestry, a long walk in being neccessary if you wish to view the site.

Carn Ban neolithic chambered tomb, Isle of Arran, Ayrshire, photographed c. 1993.
This pile of stones contains a number of secondary cists, but the main chamered part is now sadly very displaced and hard to make out. Located high up in the hills in the south part of the island, the forestry gives it an added sullen feel. It's an unusual setting, clinging to the steep hillside.

Carn Ban, Isle of Arran, Ayrshire photographed in 1993.
This pre-historic stone cairn contains several burial cists and is located in forestry high up in the hills in the south of Arran. Not the best of tombs to visit for the tourist, the cists being either hidden or missing their capstones, but a site to be studied by the archaeologist.
