of the construction are two small round enclosures
facing each other open towards S. and N. [South and North] respectively
5' int. dia. [interior diameter] & 3' across opening.
About 30 yds. [yards] W.N.W. [West North West] of the first mentioned con:
:struction is probably the remains of another
similar overgrown with grass. From the centre
of what appears to be the interior circle at about
8" below present level I found charcoal.
On a knoll about 120 yds [yards] NW [North West] of the first con:
:struction are the confused ruins of a circular
building. The surface is so covered with stones
that the plan is difficult to determine. It appears
to have been a dry stone structure with diameter
over all of from 29' to 30' with various small
chambers of from 4' to 6' interior diameter in
the thickness of the walls. The thickness between
the chamber & outside of wall is in each case 6'
and there appears to have been considerable
thickness between the chambers themselves.
Two small circular constructions of
about 8' dia. [diameter] over all have abutted on the
N and W. [North and West]. The entrance is not apparent
in the present state of ruin but it has probably
been from the E. [East]. From the SE [South East] a wall has
curved round towards the E [East] for 70' then turned
westward for about 24' and in the direction of its
