Abstract:
Excavation revealed a complex of stone built chambers linked by passageways, one of which was roofed. A number of hearths were identified. Finds included pottery, limpet shells, red deer, ox and whale bone, an incised stone ball and stone mace-heads. The presence of a twig rune on a loose stone is evidence of later activity.
