NR92NW 2 9149 2686. NR 914 268: Passage-grave, Carmahome: This cairn is situated on sloping moorland. It was excavated by Mann (1925) about 1924, and the features described by him can still be seen. Ten stones of an approximately circular peristalith were found. It measures 17ft 6ins across the chamber and 14ft 3ins along the axis of the passage. The cairn remains 3ft high flush with the tops of the structural stones. Cairn material was found spreading about 6ft outside the peristalith, but this is not now evident. The entrance is to the WSW, facing downhill. The passage is 3ft 6ins by about 2ft 6ins, leading to a circular chamber, 4ft 6ins by 5ft. When excavated, the chamber was full of peat, earth, and stones. The floor was paved by two large and one small flag neatly fitted together. One slab was lifted, when a flint knife, now in Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum (Acc No: 55:96 lr) was found. ARN 18 Information from OS (IF) 16 February 1973 A S Henshall 1972; L M Mann 1925
