Monument record MHG44768 - Boath Short (Boath Chambered Cairns)

Stone Cist containing Human Remains found AD 1863 {NAT} OS 6" map, Ross-shire, 1st ed., (1907)

Short horned cairn with a polygonal chamber. Only about 600 ft NE of long cairn (NH 57 SE ) on top of a slight rise in same field. The centre is virtually undisturbed, roughly circular, of bare stones and still stands to height of about 10 ft. The edges are relatively low and flat, turf-covered, and give appearance of a substantial platform from which the central portion covering the chamber rises. Although the edges have been somewhat robbed in places, it seems probable that present form of the cairn is original, and the outline is still fairly clear. The passage is not visible on surface and from the chamber it can be seen to be blocked with rubble. OS 6" records 'stone cist containing human bones found here AD 1863'.
