 burnt bone debris to a depth of about three inches, and on the top of this 

 were lying seven smallish flat stones, which had apparently been used as trays 



stones ; and upwards of 100 white sea-pebbles.'' A portion of an intercostiil bone from the skeleton 

 of a whale was also found in this cam. — " Tomb of OUamh Fodhla," pp. 51 and 52.
