terminal portion towards the NNE [North North East] is 37' and its
elevation about 4', but as three large slabs set
on end protrude for about 1'.6" through the turf
indicating the existence of a chamber, it has
formerly been higher. The length of the horns
is about 20': the distance between their outer
extremities 46': and thence to the centre of the
concavity at that end of the cairns 29'. The
SSW. [South South West] end shows no signs of excavation and
the whole cairn is overgrown with turf.
The O.S. [Ordnance Survey] indicates "standing stones" besides these
cairns but none were observed except those
protruding from the denuded chamber at the
NNW. [North North West] end of the second cairn.

Cairn Achreamie. (22).
In an enclosed area of moorland about 1/2 m. [mile]
S. [South] of Achreamie School are the remains of a
small round cairn. It has a diameter of
about 35' and an elevation of about 3'. Much
of it has been removed but neither cist nor
chamber has been exposed.

[Opposite page - text inserted] This description will require to be rewritten

In a hollow at the N. [North] end of Cnoch Freicedain
about 3/4 m. [mile] E [East] of Upper Dounreay is a
setting of stone rows. The rows, of which
there appear to have been thirteen lie in
a general direction NW & SE. [North West & South East] diverging
somewhat towards the latter direction.
