is 10' distant from No. 3 is 3' broad, 3'.4" high and
about 14" thick at centre. No. 5 - 6' further on is a
rectangular block about 3'.1" high and in thickness 1'3" x 1'.
Of the inner circle only three stones remain
at about 5' within the circumference of the outer
circle, & approximately concentric with it, and
within the existing one. The most Southerly stone
is situated North by W [West] of the most Southerly
stone of the outer circle (No. 5) and is a stone of
similar character. It is a tall block, rectangular
in section measuring 1'.4" x 8" with its broad face
at right angles to the line of the circumference
and is 3' high. It has evidently been interfered
with and recently propped up. No. 2 Northwards
has been similarly set, but is tilted over, is
exposed for a length of 2'.4", is 1'.3" across and
6" thick. It is about 4' distant from No. 1. No. 3 is
a broad flat pointed slab set with its face
in line of the circumference 2'.6" across base
7" thick & exposed for 1'.10" and is about 4'
from No. 2. There is a depression in the centre
as if the interior had been excavated and
a slight mound on the E. [East] side tends to con:
:firm this. There are no tumuli or hut
circles immediately near though they occur on
the slope below nearer the road.
