circular recesses in the thickness of the walls.
The interior diameter is about 25'. The thickness
of the walls about 13' expanding on either side
of the entrance to 21' The details of the interior
of the structure are difficult to determine.
From the end of the entrance a bed of stones
extends into the interior towards the S.E. [South East] expanding
from about 5' to 9' across with a length of about
18'. The E [East] side of this bed is 2' distant from the
interior wall opposite and it appears to divide
the structure into two main compartments.
In the thickness of the wall at the S. [South] of the
interior are two semicircular recesses that
at the E [East] side about 4' - 5' dia. [diameter] & that towards the W. [West]
about 3' - 4'. The entrance is towards NW [North West] (Fig ) [Figure].
About 50 yds. [yards] E. [East] of the last is a ruined
structure the walls of which are formed of
boulders about 8' in thickness. Its total
length is 46' and its main features a
circular enclosure at either end. It lies
N & S. [North & South]. The enclosure at the N. [North] end measures
15'.6" across x 13' in length interiorly that at the S. [South]
10' x 11'.6", the connecting portion being about
8' wide & apparently divided into compartments.
There is an outer enclosure abutting on it at
the NW [North West] about 18' in length & expanding
