bank are exposed the ruins of some structure
in which upright slabs are visible set parallel
2'.10" apart and bones, & shells intermingle
with the debris.

chambered Cairn Stroma (9)
About 100 yds. [yards] SW. [South West] of the light house at the
N. [North] end of the island is a cairn which has
been partially excavated and which appears
to have contained a chamber now ruined.
In diameter it measures some 52' and
in elevation 5'. Near the centre is exposed
a slab 8'.6" in length lying on its edge in
direction N [North] & S. [South] while 3' to the E [East] and 1'.6" to
the W. [West] respectively lie shorter slabs set parallel.
Passing Southward along the W. [West] coast
we visited the devil's punch bowl a
great circular pit into the bottom of
which the tide rushes. It is some distance
back from the cliffs and has I suppose
been formed by the falling in of a cave.

? Cairn Unnoted
At the landward end of the promontory
of Mell Head and on the N. [North] side a deep cleft
known as the Giddy Goe runs Southward for a distance of about 120 yds. [yards]
Immediately to the E [East] of this at the seaward
end is a low stoney mound which is probably
a cairn. It measures 25' in diameter and
2' in elevation.
