Archaeology Notes

NL58SW 5 c. 549 802.

Muir (T S Muir 1885) notes the remains of a 'cairn or dolmen' near the lighthouse on the Island of Berneray. It is 'down a bit, in another direction' to the nearby dun (NL58SW 4).

T S Muir 1885.

No further information could be obtained locally concerning this alleged 'chambered cairn', and its position could not be located during field investigation.
