lying to the N. [North] is met with at about 44'.6". It has
a width of about 5' but as the wall on the outside
or N.E. [North East] is perpendicular & built against the
rounded wall at the back it has probably been
originally wider. 3'.6" to the E [East] of it is the
end wall of another chamber running SE. [South East]
for 13'. The outer wall here also presents the
same feature as in the previous case. The
span of the original roof has probably been
too great and an additional wall has been
necessary for its support. The present greatest
width of this chamber is about 3'.6".

for the shepherd's cairns to the N. [North] of Cnoc
Neill about 1 1/4 m. [miles] to N.E. [North East]. I stepped out over

N. [North] of Cnoc Neill 900ft. [feet] up I turned my
steps towards Loch Beannoch where
Harry Butler & Jocelyn were fishing & joined
them there about 4.0. I fished for an
hour & got 1 trout. There are very fine
trout in this loch being frequently caught
up to 2 lbs [pounds] but they are very dour!
