but appears to have been about 2' wide. There
are indications that the interior has been sub-divided
into small oval or round chambers with outlines
of boulders but the debris lying all over the interior
renders the plan indefinite.
About 50 yds [yards] N.W. [North West] of the last is a construction with
two circular enclosures separated from each other by
a stone foundation 3 ft. [feet] across and bounded on the
W [West] side by a mound of earth and stones 29' long, 14'
broad on base and 2' - 3' high and on the E [East] by a
mound of lesser dimensions. The two circles lie in line in a
direction NW. and SE. [North West and South East]. That towards the N.W. [North West] is oval & measures
internally 13' in length x 9' in breadth and appears to
have a wide opening to the NE. [North East] the ends of the
mounds as usual not being brought round to form
an entrance. The circle to the SE [South East] measures 8' in
breadth x 10' in length and has an entrance to the SE. [South East]

2'.5" thick on the W. [West] side, the stone on the opposite side
being overgrown with grass the actual length of the
passage is unascertainable. From the E [East] side
of the circle near the centre, a wall runs SE. [South East] for

70 yds [yards] thereafter turning sharply to the N [North] and
NW [North West] for about 100 yds [yards] terminates in an oval
enclosure 22' across x 11' deep, with an opening to S.W. [South West]. Where
