This is the longer of the two long horned cairns
excavated by Dr [Doctor] Anderson and his description
must be quoted and referred to. In its present
state the cairn is almost unrecognisable.
The walls of the passage have been rebuilt:
the first chamber has been so reduced by building
that its sides are now flush with the passage walls:
one side of the centre chamber has been built
up so as to contain a chimney and the ends
of the inner chamber have been altered and
at the S. [South] side reconstructed. The building
visible in the three excavations along the
cairn is in two cases at least probably modern.
The central excavation may mark the position
of the chamber discovered by Sir Frances Tress
Barry.

To the W. [West] of it nearer the circle there appears to
be another of lesser dimensions.

On the top of a ridge about 1/4 m. [mile] to the S. W. [South West]
of the loch of Jarrows are the remains of a
horned long cairn which has been excavated.
