Full Description
NA00SE 6 0853 0020.
NA 08550014. On the edge of the bluff overlooking Glen Bay are two cairns 11.0m apart, and a possible third some 8.0m to the E. The north-easterly one is 7.5m in diameter and 0.4m high. The other, 8.5m in diameter and 0.7m high, appears to have been opened in the centre. A large prostrate slab lies beside the disturbance. Both cairns consist of turf-covered stones, and are smoothed down with weathering.
Nearby, are three or four 'platforms' which may indicate the sites of huts, but time did not permit the planning of these, and excavation would be required.
Visited by OS (J L D) 10 August 1967.
