Cuween Hill

 

The roof of the south compartment of the western cell.
This is another modern roof of flat-laid slabs, the original was most probably of edge-laid stones as all of the original roofing in the cairn uses this technique.
The roof was missing in 1888 and this south compartment was found full of stones. Although the south and north compartments of the western side cell
have separate roofs, they are both set at 1.67m above the floors, a similar height to nearly all of the other cells.
