placed at right angles to the direction of the
passage has probably formed one of the portals
to an outer compartment of the chamber and
at 4'.9" in rear of it another slab protruding
1'.6" above the ruin, 2'.5" broad and 6" thick
has formed the N. [North] portal of the inner com:
:partment. The main compartment has
been entirely cleared out and its dimensions
are unobtainable. A small portion of its
wall remains visible on the N. [North] side. The
cairn for the most part is overgrown with
turf.
Hut Circle
About 1/4 m. [mile] N. [North] of Dorrery Lodge on the E. [East]
side of the peat road is a large hut circle.
It is entered from the E. [East] but the bank on
both sides of the entrance is much worn away
and the details are unobtainable. The
interior measurements are 24' x 28'. The
thickness of the bank or wall which is overgrown
with grass & heather is 9'.
Cairn
Some 200 yds. [yards] NNW. [North North West] of the last mentioned
cairn is another with a diameter of about
40' and an elevation of about 4'. On the
top near the centre a cist lying NE [North East] & SW. [South West] has been exposed
3'.8" in length by 1'.6" in breadth. The slabs
forming one end and one side alone remain.
