'A'. An oval grassy mound lying NE-SW and measuring 45' by 30' by 5' high, was partially opened by John Nicolson, Nybster, who found 'a passage 4ft deep by 2ft wide, extending along it from the SW end, faced with slabs set on end and covered by flat stones for lintels'. In the passage were a stone pounder, two split bones and shells of edible molluscs.

'B'. Thirty feet to the SW the heads of three large slabs, all facing N-S, project through the turf. Two are in line and one is a short distance to the rear, opposite the space between the two slabs in front. This may be the remnant of a chambered cairn.
