Full Description
NC75SW 17 72 52.
A small, sandstone whetstone, 3ins by 1ins, and an irregularly-shaped piece of pumice stone, 3ins across, from Strathnaver (Centred: NC 72 52) were donated to the NMAS by Rev J M Joass, Eddertoun in 1865. One of the articles was found in an 'eirde-house' and the other was found at a depth of 1ft. in the vicinity but the accounts differ as to which was found where. No closer location is given for the 'eirde-house' - presumably a souterrain - but another, ruined, lay on the opposite side of the Strath.
