it wouldn't surprise me if the OS had missed it. me and Scotty found an intact cist at the bottom of the cairn at New Fowlis, and when I told the county archaeologist it was the first he knew of it. he got very excited about it too, scanned my photo and sent it to the RCAHMS in the hope that he'd be allowed to excavate it
