| Type: | Possibly Orkney-Cromarty. Round cairn. Possibly stalled chamber. |
| Location: | Map |
| Notes: | One of two Neolithic cairns on the the natural terraces on the south-western side of Faraclett Head. The second, Faraclett Head West lies 16m to the west. Faraclett East is a well-defined, oval mound that measured 1m high with a diameter of 9-11m in 1982. At that time it was noted that the cairn had been hollowed in the centre, allowing sections of a pair of upright slabs to be seen. These were considered by Davidson and Henshall to be highly suggestive of a pair of divisional slabs of an Orkney-Cromarty-type chamber. A third site in the vicinity has been interpreted as a denuded chamber but “the setting of upright slabs is enigmatic and unclassifiable.” |
