The southwest Clava cairn is also supported by a bank, and is 16m in diameter, its kerbstones graded to the SW. An excavation of the chamber around 1828 found a clay floor with two broken, flat-bottomed vases and an amount of cremated bone. The entrance passage is stone-lined and, like the other Clava cairn, aligned on the midwinter sunset. The surrounding 31.6m stone circle had twelve stones originally, with eleven present today, six of these being re-erected about 1876. This circle joins company with Ardblair and Long Meg in that it has been converted into a "drive-in", the adjoining road having been built through it.
*Only circle stones tested.
