The Orkneyinga Saga

Note 198 — INTRODUCTION. (continued 2)

Gilbert Goudie translation

The leading specific feature of the Orkney group of chambered cairns is the formation of small cells or loculi off the principal chamber. The Caithness group is distinguished by the tricameration of the chamber, and the Clava group by having a circular or oval chamber undivided and unfurnished with loculi.
