Full Description

(NH 7676 9745) Stone Cist found AD. 1901 (NAT)
OS 6" map, Sutherland, 2nd ed., (1907)
The Revision ONB, containing the authority for this entry, was destroyed during the 1939-45 war.
It is possible that a beaker was found in this cist. Abercromby (1912) noted a Type B2 beaker, 5 1/2 ins tall, found in a bank 'near Dornoch'. Crichton Mitchell located it to Cambusmore and said it was in Dunrobin Museum in 1934 (Mitchell 1934); but Clarke, in 1970, claimed that it was in Inverness Museum, mislabelled 'Alness, Dalmore'. It belongs to his group N/NR.

The beaker is on display in Inverness Museum labelled Dornoch, Sutherland. It was found whilst making the Dornoch light Railway in 1902.
