of the entrance. Some 500 yds. [yards] E. [East] of the
road on the hillside is another considerable
group of cairns and adjacent to it a
large pear shaped enclosure measuring
about 46' x 70' with a wide entrance to the S. [South]
about 20' across. The E. [East] wall is continued
round flanking the entrance & following the
S. [South] side of a hollow down hill for about 100
yds [yards]. Some 60' N. [North] another wall runs from the side of the encl. [enclosure] W. [West] along
the other side of the hollow and at about
100 yds. [yards] turns sharply to the S. [South] and passes
the end of the other wall so as to leave an
entrance way between them about 10 ft. [feet] wide.
To the N. [North] of the large enclosure is a small
circle with int. dia. [interior diameter] of about 10 ft [feet] & walls
of stone turf. This appears to have been
a rather elaborate cattle enclosure. There
are many of these old tumbled down walls
in the neighbourhood of hut circles &c. whose
course is almost impossible to follow and
the object of whose erection equally difficult
to ascertain. To the S. [South] of the enclosure
and along the hill side for half a mile
are numerous cairns and hut circles.
About 1/4 m. [mile] N. [North] of the Allt na Fearna Mòr and
about 400 yds [yards] E. [East] of the road is double hut
