HY32NE 33 3640 2946.
At the base of the (modern) cairn named Kyarl is a stone grave about 7 ft long. Slabs set on end form the N and S sides, but those at the head and foot have apparently been washed away.
J Mooney 1949.
These two slabs at HY 3640 2946 appear to be part of the entrance passage to the scant remains of one, possibly two, dry-stone buildings, most of which have been destroyed by sea erosion. Traces of a built curving inner face supplemented with slabs on edge laid amongst storm debris, with a few isolated upright slabs of no intelligible pattern outside to the SE. The buildings would appear to have been domestic and possibly similar to HY32NE 28 and HY32NE 29.
Visited by OS (AA) 16 October 1972.
