Notes
Cairn 10 survives as a ring of stones only, ten small slabs, several of them overgrown, arranged in a circle about 3.0m across. The upper edge of a narrow slab protruding through the turf near the centre is in the correct position for the end stone of a cist. (Butler Vol. 3 p.193) n.b. Radcliffe points out that Butler incorrectly lists Vol 5 Fig 6, p25 for this cairn, it has been corrected in this listing to Fig 7. p26References
