What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Clava as Barrow (prehistoric). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Clava is a Neolithic chambered cairn and part of a class of early Bronze Age burial monuments known as Clava cairns, found primarily in the Scottish Highlands. These tombs are significant for their distinctive kerb stones and satellite stone circles, reflecting early ceremonial and funerary practices in northern Scotland.
