Cairn (61)
About 1 m. [mile] NW. [North West] of Dorrery Lodge is a large
cairn which has been broken into at no
distant date. The chamber is in part wrecked
but does not appear to have been cleared
out. The diameter over all is 52' and the
elevation about 8'.
To the N. [North] and E. [East] of the cairn lie several
small circular stoney mounds with diameters
of from 12' to 16' and elevation of 1 1/2' - 2'.

Hut circle
About 1 m. [mile] NNW. [North North West] of Dorrery Lodge at the
base of the Eastern slope of Ben Freiceadain
is a well preserved hut circle. The en:
:closing wall is largely overgrown with
vegetation but on the outside towards
S. [South] it is exposed in places to a height of 2'.
It enters from ESE. [East South East] through a passage in
the thickness of the wall 9' in length, 5' in
width at the outer end and 2'.3" at the
inner. At 4' from the inner end two upright
stones in situ have evidently formed jambs
constricting the width of the passage to 1'.6".
Interiorly the circle which is of pear shaped
form measures 27' x 31' The interior
is divided into two by a wall some
2'.6" in breadth forming an arc having
its concave outline facing the entrance
