248.04 | This is a small circle of three stones, similar in appearance and material to the Tormore group, but considerably removed from them, it is situated in a hollow, beside the Machrie burn. And except for its proximity to the burn would be unseen in the tall heather. I believe numerous similar objects are scattered through the district and buried in the moss but now out of the reach of recognition; better termed a Cairn. |
