the rows 36'. In the most complete row, that on
the E. [East], some 5 or 6 stones remain. (The rows

to about a couple of feet above ground and
seldom more than 2' in breadth usually less.

cairn 48'. The stones appear to be from
8' to 10' apart. In all there are 37 stones
remaining erect and some 3 or 4 lie displaced.
