A supposed cist is situated at Portain, W of Loch Grota, at the E base of a cliff. The covering slab bears four cup-marks, three of them in a row near its edge, the other being smaller and out of line. The slab is supported by other stones which appear to have been artificially placed (E Beveridge 1911).
Cup-mark symbols occur in frequent association with 'Food Vessel Burials'. This cist is not certainly of the short cist type.
(J V S Megaw and D D A Simpson 1963; E Beveridge 1911).
This cist was not located.
