Orkney Smr Note

On the very summit is an oval mound of stones, much spread,
some 14m in diameter and up to 1.3m high. Its appearance has not
changed since it was planned by RCAMS in 1935. Six protruding
edge-slabs indicate a stalled chamber, aligned N-S. RCAMS noted
two edge-slabs some distance S of this mound, the more distant of
the two standing on the periphery of a heap of small stones. This
heap is located about 24m S of the centre of the main mound, or
15m from its periphery; it is an indefinable low mound some 8m
across and no more than 0.2m high; the two edge-slabs are on its
periphery in the NE sector. It probably represents a separate
burial-mound.
