diameter from E to W. [East to West] has been about
80' and from N to S. [North to South] 78' while from NNE [North North East]
to S.S.W [South South West] along the projection it is 95'. The

At the N. [North] of Creag Mhor on a flat to the
W [West] of Loch a Vicair & to the E [East] of the Allt is a large group of
small cairns. At the W. [West] end of the group
are the remains of a hut circle, only a
portion of the bank on the W. [West] remains the

lie numerous small cairns. One cairn

its neighbours measures 20' in diameter
At the upper side of the flat about 100 yds [yards]
S.W. [South West] of the hillock that rises at the N. [North] end of
it is a more important cairn. Its
outline has been carefully defined with

N. [North] they are awanting but appear to have been
