Found during this season's dig at Green
http://www.orkneyjar.com/archaeology/eday2008.htm (the first came from Eday Manse in 1861 and resembles those from Pierowall [1981] and Pickaquoy [1864]).

There is a ruined cairn to the NW at HY564372 and much of the Fold of Setter ( HY53NE 14 ), a large circular enclosure , can be faintly made out on a NE slope 300m to the North at HY564375 .

Eday Manse (Chambered Tomb) — Miscellaneous

RCAHMS NMRS record HY53SE 7 according to which it may still turn out to be a settlement mound . The carved stone became the lintel of a church but has not been found in the ruins . At HY560323 lies HY53SE 8 , six hard to distinguish mounds about which there has been much conjecture but no definitive answer as to what they are .
