1.-— GRIDDLE OB GREIDELL INE OR EEN, 



OTHERWISE KNOWN AS ORIADAL FEINN. 

 Notice of a Stone Cieclb enclosing Two Megalithic Chambers 



SITUATED upon THE FaRM OF OrMSAIGMORE, KiLCHOAN, 



Ardnamurchan. 



By Mr SYMINGTON GEIEVE. 



(Read Nov. 23,1910,) 



During a visit to Kilchoan in September 1909 I made 

 inquiry regarding a number of matters of antiquarian interest 

 in the district. Mr Dougal Macdonald, postmaster, Kilchoan, 

 told me of this circle, and I got him to point it out to me. 



The circle is locally known by the name of Greidell Ine 

 or Een. My informant was not quite certain whether the 

 correct spelling of the last part of the name was Ine or Een, 

 but he was quite sure it was the name of an individual, and 

 had heard his grandfather say so. His idea was that it had 

 been the place of burial of some chief or great person, but 

 who Ine or Een was he did not know (see Plate XXI.) 



The circle is, as far as I could judge, the remains of a large 

 mound or cairn, which at one time probably was high enough 

 to cover the two chambers. There appears to have been a 

 large number of monoliths or smaller stones standing upon 

 their ends round at least a considerable part of the circum- 

 ference of the circle. At the most northerly part of the circle 

 is some evidence of an entrance or roadway. 



The circle is situated upon the summit of a slight natural 

 eminence on the west side of the peat road which runs north
