Log Text: I visited the mound in 2022 and inside 2023. you aren't allowed to take photos inside.
The tour guide was up to date and covered the neolithic and much later norse visitors and runes. There is a very good article on the passage alignment in the 2023 issue of the Orkney Archaeology review £10.

Their website has lots more info on Maes and Orkney and it is only £15 to join, £10 for pensioners (you get sent the annual review)

Log Text: fortuitous meeting with a geologist there-almost all the stones are of similar igneous, typical 'granite' type. Two are finer grained with striations, and the 'jasper' stone is a very different type, probably slower cooling. Views of the peak of Bennache to WNW.
