Full Description
SU 159:
Located on a low bedrock knoll on the north shore of Saltavik Bay, the remains of this cairn measure 1.5 metres in diameter and stand no higher than 0.2 metres. This feature consists of small fist sized rocks.
Interpretation: This is likely to mark the remains of a collapsed navigation cairn sited to aid piloting into the bay at Saltavik.
