'Near the Ormiegill cairn (ND34SW 2) there is a large block of stone, which has been very rudely cut across to a depth of nearly three inches, and along the side there is a row of wedge-holes of peculiar make. The cutting is evidently of old date.' (Anderson seems to suggest that this could be a cross-slab in the making.)
