its W [West] side but neither chamber nor cist have actually
been exposed, though about 19' in from the circum:
:ference on the E. [East] there has been uncovered the head of
a large slab 3'.9" long & about 9" thick lying
E and W. [East and West]. The cairn has been circular with
a diameter of about 47' and its greatest height
is about 5'.
Some 300 yds [yards] SE. [South East] of the cairn near the centre of
the wood at the edge of a clearing is a hut
circle of the usual type except at its
entrance. It measures interiorly 30' x 34'
with entrance from the SE. [South East]. The enclosing
banks have been from 5'.6" to 6" in thickness
except at the entrance where they have been
extended outwards for 10' or 11'. The present
width of the entrance is 9' but a tree has
been planted in the centre of it and it appears
to have been in part dug out.
On the top of a knoll about 300 yds [yards] S. [South] is a
circular enclosure 28' Int. [Interior] diameter, with
banks about 6' thick, and entrance from the
NE [North East] 6' wide. The interior has been hollowed out
to some extent and in the centre is about
3' below the top of the bank.
There are several small cairns & remains
of a few ordinary hut circles about the wood
