from 4' at N [North] to 8' at W. [West] with an entrance to the S. [South].
The entrance to the main structure appears to
have been at the SE. [South East]. There is no sign of a wide
entrance as if it had been for cattle.
About 40 yds. [yards] W. [West] of the last is a hut circle of
about 26' int. dia. [interior diameter] with an entrance about 3' across
towards the W. [West] the walls of stone are about 6' thick
and 10' on either side of entrance.
About 1/4 m. [mile] NW. [North West] of the large cairn is a hut
circle with its entrance apparently towards the
SE. [South East]. The walls are of boulders about 7' across
and the interior is about 18' diameter. On either
side of the entrance a wall runs outward on
the S. [South] side for 20 ft. [feet] from the interior whence it
swings back to the flank of the circle enclosing
a chamber entering off the passage near its
outer end, about 18' in length the passage is only
about 1'.4" wide. On the N. [North] side at 20'
from the interior the wall is joined also by a
wall from the flank of the circle but at a sharper
angle and does not appear to enclose a chamber.
Thereafter it is carried for an indefinite dis:
:tance winding down the hill side (Fig. ) [Figure].
About 300 yds. [yards] E. [East] of Achineal Cottage on the
upper side of the road is a hut circle of stone
with walls about 7' thick to 10' at entrance. Int. [Interior] diameter 25'
