12’ across the centre and 29’ between the points
facing N.E. [North East] with the back to the hill.
About 150 yds. [yards] N. by E. [North by East] of summit within 50
ft. [feet] of the path is a cup shaped hollow of 6’
int. dia. [interior diameter] and 1 1/2’ deep. open to the N. [North].
About 200 yds. [yards] due N. [North] of the summit is
a circular enclosure of about 27’ int. dia. [interior diameter]
with a wide opening to the E. [East] as if for a fold. In its vicinity
lie numerous cairns of the general character
of those on the hill.
Some 40 ft. [feet] N. [North] is another hut circle of the
usual character with the entrance to the S.E. [South East]
Internal dia. [diameter] about 24’ x 27’ and about
1/4 m. [mile] N. [North] of the great cairn is another of the
usual type but whose walls are not very distinct.
The cairn on the N. & N.W. [North & North West] slope of the
hill must number about 100. In general
character they are larger than the usual
run of those found in groups but they are
associated with the hut circles & other
remains of settled habitation over a con:
:siderable period. Some of the remains
are no doubt connected with cattle folding
& pastoral life. The hut circles are
rather smaller than the usual type.
