right angles to the line of the circumference.
The cairn is not more that 2' to 2 1/2 in height.
About 40' E [East] of the last is a small depression
bounded by a bank about 8' across & 14' high on the
E [East] side in which direction the ground slopes.
The Interior is circular with a diameter of
from 6 to 7 ft. [feet] and has been entered from the S. [South].
There are numerous cairns all along the slope
of the hill facing the S.E. [South East].
Towards the top of the hill and S.E. [South East] of the
large enclosure indicated on the O.S. [Ordnance Survey] map is a
hut circle with entrance to S.E. [South East], 9' wide. It is
of the usual form & measures 36' across by 41'
in length. The banks of turf & stone as usual.
I consider this as also others with wide entrances
to have been cattle enclosures.
About 1/2 m. [mile] N. [North] of the Ant-Sròn across a
stretch of boggy land rises the Cnoch a' Chatha
A grassy hill about 200 ft [feet] in height & running
SE. [South East] and N.W. [North West] for about 1/2 m. [mile]. It is simply covered
with remains. There are scores of cairns of
the usual class. A number also which
I suspect to be heaps of stones gathered from
the surface of fields - old cattlefolds, hut
circles & walls of ancient enclosures.
Some of the circles here present new features.
