Kinchyle of Dores
Ring Cairn
NH 621 389

This site is beside the road further down on the B862 from Torbreck and is well hidden in trees and gorse bushes. After the sign for Scaniport park in the 2nd turning on the right where it is wide enough near a yellow house sign Ballindarroch. Cross the road and to the left of the field gate climb up the grass bank and go over the barbed wire. Look for a gap in the gorse and follow it in for a short way and you will come to the circle. I could only see 3 of the 5 large stones here but it is very overgrown and it was bad weather. 

  

View of some of the circle and kerb stones

 

A lot of the kerb stones are visible on the NW face but I couldn’t get through the bushes to the south where the tallest stone is at 1.8m. Among the bushes are traces of an inner chamber and passage.
