It is irregular in outline as several of the stones
are evidently out of position especially towards
the NE. [North East]. The stone at the N. [North] point has gone but
fragments of it remain on the site. The diameter has
been about 88'. The stones are large, thick, syenite
boulders sunk deep in the peat, some have fallen.
They seem to have been set with their broad
faces in line of the circumference. (Full
measurements &c. in notebook).
Some 60' W. [West] of the circle is a cairn covered with
turf standing on the edge of a declivity that runs to the
Grudie. It is about 40' in diameter including
a platform or base of from 7' to 10' in width on
which it appears to stand. It is 6' high from the
edge of the outer circumference and 4' at about

Some 180 yds [yards] S.W. [South West] of the cairn is a hut circle
with the entrance towards the SE. [South East] measuring
interiorly 31' x 37'. The faces of the encircling bank
are well marked with boulders laid end to end
and the bank appears to have been from 8' to 10' across.
About 100 yds [yards] SSE. [South South East] of the hut circle is a mound
which I believe to be a cairn overgrown with

stand in line of the circumference, (the
