it might have formed a part. (cf. Vol [Volume] 1. pp. [pages]

the width of the bank & wall on either side
of the entrance. The wall face could be
discovered by excavation. It is possibly
only 7' to 9' thick on either side.
In the construction where the cairn is situated
Vol. [Volume] 1. p. [page] 261. The diameter of the inner circle appears
to have been from 9'-10' and the cairn seems
