long cairn with a length of about 150'. but the
body of the cairn in rear of the chamber has been
removed to such an extent that accurate
measurement of that portion is not now ob:
:tainable. The main axis lies NE [North East] and SW [South West].
At the former end a considerable mound still
remains with a diameter from NW to SE [North West to South East] of 62'
and from NE to SW [North East to South West] of some 50'. Its elevation is
some 8'. At 41' from the NE [North East] end the upper
portion of a large slab 4' broad is visible
standing erect across
the line of the cairn, at 5' S. [South] of it and nearer
the edge of the cairn is another similar while
some 8' in rear of the second is a third.
These slabs have apparently formed parts of
the chamber. The cairn was noted by
Sir F. Barrie so John Nicholson may be
