cairn of about 6’ dia. [diameter] and some 20 ft. [feet] to the
N. [North] of the circle is a cairn of earth & boulders lying
N. & S. [North & South]. 12’ .6’x 10’ and 1’ - 1 1/2’ high, and there are
one or two others about.
50 yds [yards] or so W. [West] of the great cairn near the summit
is a circular one 28’ dia. [diameter] & about 3’.6” high. A
slight excavation has been made on the top
but neither cist nor chamber exposed.
About 100 yds. [yards] N.W. [North West] of the great cairn is a
hut circle of usual type with entrance to S.E. [South East].
All along the hill face from the summit
downwards for 100 ft. [feet] are numerous cairns
mostly circular with diameter varying from
about 12’ to 23’. The greatest number about 20’ and about
3’ high. These cairns are larger and more
important than those usually found on the hill
sides.
About 50 yds. [yards] E. [East] of the last hut circle is another
with an interior dia. [diameter] of about 18’ x 20’ and entrance
apparently to the N. [North].
Some 250 yds. [yards] N.N.W. [North North West] of the great cairn is a well-
-defined hut circle overgrown with heather
quite circular with dia. [diameter] of 30’. Entrance to S.E. [South East].
Several cairns lie around it one about
20’ to the W. [West] lying N. and S. [North and South] measures about
17’ x 12’ & is about 3’ high. Towards its S. [South] end
