circle. The circle on the W. [West] is of the usual type

at a slightly higher elevation than its neighbour. The
other circle has been built against the first in
such a way that it is unsymmetrical. Its S.W. [South West]

is also to S.E. [South East] and is about 9 ft. [feet] wide. The
entrance of the first seems to be of the usual
character and about 3 ft. [feet] wide. The measurements
of the second circle are 30' x 39'.

is about 2' wide and is carefully defined
