part of the cairn measures some 44' in breadth
and 7' to 8' at its greatest elevation. The expanded
portion at the end is about 90' in length. The
one horn which is apparent appears to be
about 25' long. There has been a consider:
:able amount of dilapidation in rear of the
expanded end and towards the NNW [North North West] extremity
which appears to have risen slightly in elevation.

Chambered Cairn. (19)
Some 25 yds. [yards] to the S. [South] of the last are the
remains of a round chambered cairn. Its
diameter at the present time is some 34' and
its elevation about 3' but as the field in
which it is situated has long been under
cultivation its dimensions have probably
been considerably reduced. The entrance
to the chamber has been from the WSW [West South West].
At 21' inwards from the present edge a slab protrudes which has
evidently formed the back of the chamber. It
is exposed for a height of 2'.8" above ground
and measures 4'.5" in breadth and 1'.2" in
thickness. Some 3'.7" in front of it the
heads of two slabs in line & 2'.6" apart are
visible, dividing the chamber. Though the
chamber is ruined there is no evidence of its
having been excavated.

Horned long Cairn. (16)
On the W. [West] side of Sordal Hill some 400 yds. [yards]
