About 50 yds. [yards] S.W. [South West] of it is another with internal dia. [diameter] of
24' x 31'. It appears to have been at one time much
larger but to have been filled up on the W. [West] side
making the bank in that direction 14' across.
Another on the top of the ridge about 100 yds [yards] S. [South] of the
double circle is another in good preservation. It
measures about 21' x 24', & has the entrance to the S. [South]
E. [East]. The interior appears to have been hollowed
out to some extent and is about 2 ft. [feet] below the
ground level on the upper side. The other
circle of the group about 50 yds. [yards] W. [West] is much
effaced. Across the burn, the Feith Mhòr which
flows to the N. [North] of these remains on a slight
elevation is a similar group consisting of a hut
circle and cairns. The circle is about 190 yds [yards]
N.N.W. [North North West] of the bridge across the burn. It measures
about 19' x 23'. To the S. [South] and E. [East] of it lie about a dozen
cairns of the usual type. In Loch
Dola are a couple of small islands on which
the black headed gulls are breeding. I was sur:

the trees on one of these islands. I did not think
they would have flocked together so early in the

Lairg Moor. In a small piece of waste land
about 300 yds. [yards] S.E. [South East] of [Sydney] Ho. [House] is a group
