Cancellation (3 October 2018)

This record has been cancelled. Limited information was provided by RCAHMS (1946, No. 899) on a mound of burnt stones ‘by the shore of the Loch of Harray near the standing stones’, and it was not located by RCAHMS or OS (1966). The reference is more likely to simply duplicate the record of a cairn located in the same area (HY31SW 20), visited by RCAHMS in 1928 and described with the standing stones (1946, No. 878). The cairn has been partially excavated in recent years (DES 2016, 136; DES 2017, 150).

Information from HES Survey and Recording (GFG) 3 October 2018.
