Camster Long - Antiquarian Illustrations

 

Joseph Anderson

Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, 7, p.480-512,1868.

Although the footprint of the cairn on the landscape is similar to its modern stance, the profile shown here is much rougher, with no signs of the smooth
"domical" mounds covering the two chamber areas today.

 

Anderson's plan compares well with modern ones, except that the axis of the southern chamber and passage is shown
SE-NW, instead of its true E-W orientation.

As usual, our sincere thanks to the Society for allowing use of material from its most excellent Proceedings.
