What is recorded here

Magic and myth are not the same. That is all.
Situated in the centre of a low cairn (CL009-066001-). This cist (L c. 1.6m; Wth c. 0.75m; H c. 0.15m) consists of two parallel slabs, set on their long edge and oriented E-W. The N stone (L 1.6m; H 0.15m; T 0.1m) is slightly larger than the S stone (L 0.9m; H 0.15m; T 0.05m). The E ends of the stones are directly N and S of each other.
