OS 6" map, Sutherland, 2nd ed., (1907)
The Revision Ordnance Survey Name Book (ONB), containing the authority for this entry, was destroyed during the 1939-45 war.
It is possible that a beaker was found in this cist.
Abercromby (1912) noted a Type B2 beaker, 5 1/2 ins tall, found in a bank 'near Dornoch'. Crichton Mitchell located it to Cambusmore and said it was in Dunrobin Museum in 1934 (Mitchell 1934); but Clarke, in 1970, claimed that it was in Inverness Museum, mislabelled 'Alness, Dalmore'. It belongs to his group N/NR.
