The Camster Round from the east.
The cairn in its final sealed form would have appeared as a symmetrical round
cairn, blocking material was piled up in front of the
entrance and facade which, combined with stones tumbled from the cairn, would
continue the perimeter and curve of the main cairn.
With most of the blocking material removed, the flat facade of a heeled
cairn is revealed.
The cairn is now 22m in diameter at its widest and 3.7m high, although Anderson
measured it as 4.5m high in 1866, the difference
presumably due to stone robbing.
