At the edge of the cairn towards the S. [South] a
thin slab set upwards 2'.6" in breadth protrudes
through the turf to a height of 1'.3". Its
significance is not apparent.

Standing Stone (35)
In the low wet ground to the NE. [North East] of Ben
Dorrery and about 1/2 m. [mile] NW. [North West] of Dorrery Lodge
is a standing stone. It is a sandstone
slab measuring 4 1/2' in height above ground
3'.3" in breadth and 10" in thickness and
faces NE [North East] and SW. [South West].

About 3/4 m. [mile] NNW. [North North West] of Dorrery Lodge and im:
:mediately to the E. [East] of the march fence is a
stone built circular construction of indefinite
character. In diameter over all it measures
45'. The entrance seems to have been from
the S. [South] directly through a wall about 9' in thickness
thereafter by a passage 2' in width passing
round to the E. [East]. The central part of the
construction with a diameter of some 13'
appears to be built. In it and in the
outer wall there appear to have been
small round chambers faced with large
slabs. The whole construction is in a
dilapidated state and the details of its
plan very obscure. It does not appear
to have been a broch.
