The surface is overgrown with turf and
the plan difficult to make out. I made
a slight excavation near the centre of the
inner circle removing a turf with my knive

About 20' E [East] is a flat topped mound from the
edge of which many large stones protrude.
On another grassy hillock about 120 yds [yards] S.E. [South East] is
a foundation of a structure 20' long rectangular
towards S. [South] end where it is 8' wide interiorly and
with a rounded addition at the N. [North] end 7' from N to S [North to South]
x 11' across. In the interior of the latter is foundation
of a circular chamber of 5' dia. [diameter].
On ruins of next knoll about 30 yds. [yards] E. [East] are ruins
of a small rectangular enclosure about 6' sq. [squared].
On another hillock about 1/4 m. [mile] E. [East] of the first
circle is a structure overgrown with grass
with apparently an entrance to the W. [West]
measuring 28' x 31' and in outline resembling
an ordinary hut circle. The outline of founda:

chambers at the back from the N. [North]. In rear
