Where Glen Cloy opens into the Bay of Lamlash, there is a green mound, which was dug into some years ago. On removing the superincumbent earth and stones, a collection of small square chambers of flat slabs was uncovered, from which were taken two clay urns" of the flower-pot pattern", containing calcined bones.
