About 1/2 m. [mile] N. [North] of Creag Saval between the old
road leading to the ford over the Allt Chaisegail
and the fence to W [West] of it a green hillock rises
from the swampy moorland. Near its S.E. [South East] end
is a small circle measuring internally about
12' x 16' with its entrance S.E. [South East] and 2' wide,
the thickness of the bank at base being about 6'.
Some 8' in from ent. [entrance] is a semicircular setting of Stones 2'.6" across evidently a hearth.
I cut out a turf & found charcoal but in very small quantity.
About 30' S. [South] of it is a larger circle measuring
internally about 30' x 33', with entrance from S.E. [South East].
About 40' N.E [North East] of the small circle is another larger one
broken down on the E [East] side with entrance S.E. [South East] about

cairns of the usual character.

burn. It resembles a great rampart about
