chamber is bipartite divided by two slabs
about 3" to 5" thick about 2'.6" high and 2'.4" apart.

[Margin] Longest axis NW & SE. [North West & South East]

The outer compartment is roughly rectangular
4'.7" in length by 4'.3" wide, the inner polygonal,
but not very markedly so, 6'.2" long x 5'.4" wide.
The largest slab, on the NE, [North East], is 4'.5" long and
the greatest height in the interior to top of the
highest slab 3'.6". The spaces between the
slabs are filled with horizontal building.
It appeared to me as if the end slab and that
at the NE [North East] from the similarity of the curve
at the points were portions of the same
boulder split. The slabs are thinner than
usual, & 7' in from the outer end of the passage
are two upright stones opposite each other 2'.2" high
2'.5" apart. (Fig.) [Figure].
Immediately to the N. [North] of the large cairn is another group
of small cairns and a hut circle. The latter
measures 8' x 12' and is enclosed by a bank
6' thick. The entrance appears to have been

towards the N.W. [North West] and to have been narrow. The
S [South] wall projects 7' so as to flank it.
Some 200 yds. [yards] NW. [North West] of the large cairn is a
cairn with a diameter of 37' and 3' to 3'.6" high.
About 40' W. [West] of it is a circular enclosure
with interior diameter of about 25' and an
