193.11 | "In the upper end of the South wood of Lenihuline (i.e. the holy field) about half a mile from the road, there is a curious cairn, or mound of stones, called Cairn-baan (i.e. the white cairn) in the form of a cross, which shews that it must have been constructed in christian times. The full length of the cross from West to East, was 200 feet, and the breadth about 15 feet; the transept, or cross 47 feet in length, by 30 feet, but the head, or east end beyond the transept was removed, when the wood was enclosed, as it projected beyond the wall. There is a small cell in the west end of the cross, into which the penitent could creep when at his devotions; It was supposed that there was a range of similar cells along the centre of the mound, but on a thorough examination made some years ago, it was found not to be the case" Wilson's Guide p [page] 78. There is no sufficient Evidence of shape to warrant the above statement and deduction - nor is there any aperture worth calling a "Cell". [Initialled] JB Lt.Col. [Lieutenant Colonel] |
