| Type: | Orkney-Cromarty. Round cairn. Tripartite or stalled chamber. |
| Location: | Map |
| Notes: | A prominently position cairn on Fitty Hill, with well-defined edges and which rises steeply to a height of approximately 1m. The circular mound has a diameter of c17m but the central area has been robbed of stone and is therefore very disturbed. Two orthostatic pairs and a fifth slab to the E appeared to belong to a chamber orientated roughly SW to NE. To the south of the suspected chamber were two small slabs on edge, and a large slab 1.6 m long by o.8 m high. Their original function was unclear but the latter, which had concrete along its upper edge, had been used as part of a container for animal fodder. In 1996, one of the slabs visible on top of the mound was reported to have collapsed. A subsequent site visit by county archaeologist Julie Gibson reported a possible secondary cist on the east side of the mound. |
