E and W. [East and West]. It is 70' in length, 43' across at the
E [East] end and 26' at the W. [West]. About 19' from
the E. [East] it expands to 53' across forming lugs
on either side about 11' across. This peculiarity
seems quite distinct on the N. [North] side but the
partial demolition of the cairn on the S. [South] renders
it less obvious. At the W. [West] end it is only a
foot or two in height and it has risen towards
the E. [East] but as it has been considerably dilapidated
in that direction it is impossible to say where
its greatest elevation was. At height it is
about 6' high. No chamber or cist has been
exposed.
Some 150 yds. [yards] NW. [North West] of the cairn is a hut
circle of unusual type. Towards the N. [North] is
an enclosure 19' across and 18' long
rounded at the N. [North] and adjoining it towards
the S. [South] opening off it and formed by a continuation
of the E. [East] wall, a similar enclosure 12' wide
and 19' long and at its N. [North] end where it
opens on the first enclosure 9' across. A cairn:
:like mound of earth and stone 7' wide separates this
from the entrance which is 2' wide,
and 10' long - flanked on the W [West] or left side by
a small circular compartment entering 7'
from the exterior through a passage about 3' long
