PSAS 1890.
No further information was found during field investigation.
Visited by OS (WDJ) 4 May 1963.
This whorl may have come from either Boath Long or Boath Short chambered cairn (NH57SE 2 or 3, at NH 5814 7383 and NH 5833 7395 respectively). Now lost.
A S Henshall 1963, 339.
There are several cairns at Boath and given the limited information available regarding the circumstances and location of discovery, it is possible that this whorl could have come from any of these. GW 06/06/20
