Notes
Butler entry, coords given are for 38.8.2. Previously listed here as Scorhill S.2 (duplicate), CNxScorhill 9. In volume Two on p.243 are listed entries 4.1 and 4.2 as S.1 and S.2 which appears to duplicate other entries. The diagram in Fig. 175 in Volume 5 has 5 Scorhill South cairns. This entry and 4.1 have been resinstated as non-duplicates and arbitrarily assigned to S4 and S5.That leaves S3 missing next to S2 and a new record will be created to cover that one. The grid reference for S5 from Butler Vol 5 diagram approximates to SX 65519 87191.
