Three barrows, situated on a false crest at about 100ft OD,generally as described by the Commission, but now measuring in diameter from 8.0 to 10.0m. The smallest is cut on the N side by a peat road where, according to Mr Isbister (Mr M Isbister of Buckquoy, Harray), an urn containing ashes was discovered about 50 years ago by the late Mr Spence of Gorn. The urn was destroyed.
A fourth low mound, c.4.0m in diameter and 0.4m high, is contiguous to the N arc of the Largest barrow. It may be another barrow, or
merely spoil.
Resurveyed at 1/2500.
