90. Chambered Cairn (remains of), Invershin.
On the top of a low oak-clad knoll, about ¼ m. N. of Invershin Station, and some 30 yards E. of the road, are a number of large slabs which have formed part of the walls of the megalithic chamber of a cairn. The chamber seems to have been undivided, measuring 13' in length by 7' in breadth, and to have been entered from the S. Seven slabs remain, two on each side, one at the back, and two low portal stones at the entrance. The most southerly of the two stones on the W. side has fallen, the others are in situ. All trace of the outline of the cairn has disappeared, but the chamber is still partially filled with stones.
