Notes
Not listed in NMR But near this row 438619. The third of Butler's cairns at the foot of the NE standing stone. The grid reference is estimated from the plan given by Butler that shows 3 cairns around the menhir fig 49.18 p.135 Vol 3.The HER has these entries for this group of 3 cairns MDV55243, MDV55249, MDV55250. Those entries have been assigned arbitrarily to our 3 records as it is difficult to match up.
