about 3'.6" high.
A short distance to the N.E. [North East] of Loch Dulaich
and on either side of the road or track to
Loch Tigh na Creageach is a large group of cairns
and hut circles. The first hut circle is
on a slight rise to the N. [North] of the road about
300 yds. [yards] past the loch. It is of the usual type
but its outline is not now very definite. A short
distance beyond it to the N.E. [North East] is a group of
6 or 8 cairns of the usual type. About 100 yds. [yards]
further on and about 40 yds [yards] N. [North] of the road is another
hut circle of usual form, with Entrance to S.E. [South East]
and measuring 21' x 27'. Crossing the road
the ground rises steeply and along the
top of the ridge and on its N. [North] slope are a
great number of cairns (about a score) overgrown
with grass and heather measuring from 12' to
18' in diameter. Scattered among them
are five hut circles. The most northerly of
the group is situated close beside the road
and is somewhat larger than usual measur:
:ing 34' x 45' internally. The Entrance which is
3' wide is as usual to the S.E. [South East]. Abutting on
it at the West side is another smaller circle
with dia. [diameter] 28' x 31' & entrance to S.E. [South East]. They are
connected by a common bank or mound 12' across.
