then running W [West] for about 15 ft. [feet] meets the E. [East] side
of another circle at its entrance. The latter "circle"
is 33 ft. [feet] in diameter and has an entrance to the
S. [South] about 33 ft. [feet] across, being probably a cattle enclosure.
The bank enclosing it where best preserved on the E. [East]
side is about 13' across & 3' high formed of earth or turf
and stones. Some 40 ft. [feet] to the S. [South] of the lower
circle is apparently the opening through a
bank or wall the ends of which are discernible
on either side running in N.W. and N.E. [North West and North East] directions
respectively.
Some 40 yds. [yards] W. [West] of the upper enclosure
are the remains of a circular stone building
of 14' internal diameter, with entrance to the S. [South]
and walls of boulders 6' across foundations.
A little to the N. [North] of it is a well preserved hut
circle of the ordinary type measuring 26'
x 31' with entrance to the S. [South] 5' wide. The bank
thickens towards the entrance where it is 11' across.
About 60 ft. [feet] S.W. [South West] of the last are the ruins of
a stone structure showing remains of walls
from 18" to 2' high & from 9' to 10' thick. It is oval with its longest
axis at right angles to the direction of its entrance
which is to the S. [South]. Its internal measurements
are 25' x 23'. The entrance is much ruined
