| Type: | Orkney-Cromarty. Rectangular cairn. Stalled chamber. |
| Location: | Map |
| Notes: | Situated on a gently sloping, north-facing hillside c0.8km to the south of the Loch of Wasbister. Measuring 21.5 by 12.5m in 1982, the rectangular cairn is orientated roughly west-east and had well-defined edges to a height of c0.5m. Although the structure has not been excavated, in 1982 it appeared to have been dug into, leaving a hollow about 3m wide and 0.5m deep along the centre of the mound. This “exploration” exposed divisional slabs from a probable stalled chamber with at least five compartments. Neither end of the chamber has been exposed so it is not clear where the entrance passage is situated. Update: May 2023 Preliminary results of geophysical scans here. |
