Full Description
NB23NE 1 266 373.
There is a row of 5 rough stones acting as headstones set in thick heather 1m E of a prominent cliff in the Grianan hill. They mark the graves of men of the Morrisons of Ness.
This was reported to us by a local informant who recalls more gravestones being visible 20 or 30 years ago probably in 2 rows, each stone being set at the head of a low mound.
