The stone forming the cists were very much broken up in removing them from the earth and are now lying by the roadside. Mr Campbell, the school-master of Dunnet, visited the ground on the day of discovery of these cists and has written a description of them in the Northern Ensign of June 15th 1872.
Name Book 1872.

All that can be seen is a slight rise in corner of a ploughed field.
