Usinish Bay. NF 854334.

The "probable round cairn" (Discovery and Ex- cavation 1970, p. 26) was investigated further, with the excavation of the opposing quadrant down to the stone work of the cairn and the old ground surface. No identifiable structures were found on the cairn itself, but the edge of the cairn was again fairly regular, and still standing to a height of 0.50 m in parts. The cairn is roughly circular, about 15 m in diameter. On the old ground surface, now covered by 1 - 2 m of peat, more fragments of pottery were found, some with decoration of E.I.A. type.
