Chambered Cairn (remains) near Cladh Maolrithe, Berneray.
On the brow of the steep brae running down to the eastern shore of Loch Borve, Berneray, about 200 yards south-west of Cladh Maolrithe, at an elevation of some 50 feet above sea-level, are two slabs set on edge and two others lying prostrate, evidently the remains of the chamber of a cairn which had run north and south. The upright slabs 4 feet 6 inches in length by 2 feet 2 inches in height and 4 feet 11 inches in length by 3 feet 9 inches in height converge slightly towards their south extremities, the distance between them at this point being 2 feet 10 inches. The prostrate stones 5 feet 7 inches by 2 feet 2 inches and 7 feet 4 inches by 4 feet 8 inches lie immediately to the north and north-west of the upright stones. Otherwise the cairn has been entirely removed. (Fig. 95.)
