(HU 5265 7890) Cairn (OE).
O.S.6"map, Shetland, 2nd ed.,(1900).
A heap of large stones which covers an area approximately 30' in diameter. It is situated on a natural rocky outcrop, and has apparently been piled up without much regard to method. It does not seem to have been seriously disturbed.
RCAHMS 1946. Visited 1931.
A round cairn of bare stones, c.7.0m in diameter and 1.0m high, contained by a kerb of large stones mostly obscured by tumble but well defined in the E arc. There are suggestions of an inner kerb, but this may be due to tumble.
Visited by OS(NKB) 11th May 1969.
