Very prominent site on spur-end overlooking flat coastal plain. As described except in that the cairn material has spread down the slopes and its limits hard to define. Very heavily quarried all over, but if, as seems the most likely explanation, the cell is subsidiary to a main chamber represented by the straight length of wall, good deposits may well survive on the floors of cell and chamber.
Information from Orkney SMR (RGL) Aug 82.
