OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1902)
A cist containing an urn with human remains was found on top of a gravel mound near Scallisaig House.
M E M Donaldson 1920.
One side and one end stone only remains of this cist, giving measurements of c. 1.4m x c. 0.6m x c. 0.3m deep. A large slab enbedded into the mound, close by the cist, is probably the capstone.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (R L) 5 October 1966.
This cist occurs in the centre of a turf-covered stony mound 5.8m in diameter and 0.6m high, almost certainly a cairn placed on the summit of a glacial knoll.
Revised at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (A A) 19 June 1974.
