Dwarfie Stane

Northern cell viewed from the southern.
The northern chamber is 1.25m long, 0.6m wide and 0.7m high. The cell has very rounded corners and is separated from the rest of the space by a low kerb
 just visible centre photo. Note the two faint "niches" carved into the walls. The rock above this cell is only 0.15m thick and robbers cut through here to gain access
to the chamber when the closing plug was still in place. The large darker area in the roof is a patch inserted in 1972 to seal the robber's hole.
Note the neatly worked bevel in the rock above the entrance doorway.
