termination a cross wall has curved out for
15' from the SE. [South East] wall thus forming an enclosure
with an entrance 15' wide. There are no cairns
anywhere visible in the neighbourhood of these
ruins.

[Margin - Sketch inserted]

On the left bank of the Feith Osdail about 1 1/2 m. [miles]
above its junction with the River Tirry are
the foundations of a trilobed structure
similar to that above Loch Coire nam Feuran
(p. [page] 13). It is [sketch inserted here] formed of 3 small circular
enclosures 2 in line facing N & S [North & South] respectively
and the 3rd, on the E [East] apparently facing the entrance, on
the E. [East]. The enclosures are about 4' from front
to back & about 5' wide at entrance. The distance
between the W. [West] points of the opposite enclosure
is 9'. And from the same points to the centre
of the back line of the E. [East] circle measures 16'
at the N. [North] and 14' on S. [South]. The walls seem to have
been only about 1'.6" across & were built without
mortar. The whole is much overgrown with grass. About 10' S.W. [South West] are the remains of
a small rectangular enclosure, measuring
8' x 6' interiorly - and about 30' E [East] are the founda:
:tions of another, apparently rectangular
measuring 7' x 9'. About 1/4 m. [mile] S. [South] 100 yds. [yards] or so,
to S. [South] of road to Dalnessie is a small group
of cairns, a hut circle of ordinary type
