Monument record 1466 - TRAIGH NA BERIE

no. 39
This is a cairn located behind Berie beach near the series of stone alignments (38 - SMR no. 8623). The cairn is c. 2m in visible diameter and irregular in shape. It lies on a raised patch of machair which may indicate a greater size for the cairn in its lower levels. The cairn is constructed of small and medium angular boulders and is the only such concentration of stone in the area. Although it lies in an area of relatively recent cultivation, therefore, it cannot be assumed that it is a simple field clearance feature.
