Chambered Cairn in Isle of Bute

The capstone of this chambered tomb is now on the ground just like the Kilmichael Cairn, although the cap stone has only been removed for the last 4 years. Also looking at other pictures I have of this Cairn, I noticed strange markings that look man-made and could be Ogham, so I need to go back and have another look. If you look on the right stone at the top there is a crack which looks like an X - it looks too perfect to be a crack but you never know.
