038.12; 038.05 A small knoll situated on a small point on the SE. [South East] side of the Loch of Sandwick, and N. [North] of Little Ness, said to be an ancient Burial Mound. It is principally covered over with verdure, but from one or two places where the surface is broken it would appear that it is composed chiefly of burnt stones broken very small. Its history is entirely lost, and beyond mere conjecture nothing is known concerning it. It has never been opened.
