1’.9” apart with their broad axis at rt. [right] angles to
the line of the passage. Two feet further
are another pair of stones similarly set 2 ft. [feet] apart
which probably formed part of the passage.
The highest stone in the large chamber is about
2 ft. [feet] high, 1’.7” across and 1’ thick. The diameter
of the cairn from N.E. to S.W. [North East to South West] has been about
46 ft. [feet]. Along the line of the chamber it is
not obtainable. The distance from the line
of the circumference to the back stone of the
large chamber is about 26 ft. [feet]. About 100 ft. [feet]
S.S.W. [South South West] of the summit is a well built circular cairn
of about 28’ dia [diameter] and 3’.6” high. The circumference
all round is carefully defined with large
contiguous stones set point upwards and
with flat faces outwards. There is a
slight depression about 10” deep 7’ long
x 4’.6” broad running N. & S. [North & South] on the top.
About 200 yds [yards] S.E. [South East] of the summit is a
large hut circle of the usual pear shaped
form but of larger dimensions, measuring
across from S.E. to N.W. [South East to North West] about 38’ and
from N.E. to S.W. [North East to South West] 52’. There has been an entrance
to the S.W. [South West] about 4’.6” across with a chamber
on its right bounding it for 12 ft. [feet] and on the
opposite side the wall extends outward for a
