NH45NE 2 4883 5655.
(Area NH 4890 5685) Ballachnecore: Near the west end of a spur of Cnoc Mor four orthostats seem to define a polygonal chamber 14ft long and perhaps 9ft wide, while E of a pair of low jamb stones, three low side slabs and a pair of portals should mark a passage 3 1/2 to 4 1/2ft wide and 12 1/2ft long, of which one lintel is more or less in position. The covering cairn has almost entirely been cleared away. The function of two stones outside the construction cannot be determined.
V G Childe 1944
The cairn has been completely cleared away except for traces around the chamber. Orkney-Cromarty; polygonal.
