On the hill above the birch wood abt. [about] 100 yds [yards] distant from it to the
E [East] of Morvich House is a circular enclosure
with an interior diameter of about 35'.6". The
banks are 4' across, the entrance to the NE [North East] - 4' wide
A number of small cairns lie around it - one
only 8' to the E. [East].
Towards the upper part of the hill about 1/2 m. [mile]

centre of which a very small cist is exposed
It is formed of flat sided stones. The longest axis

length has been about 2'.6" and the breadth 1'.5".
There are single slabs at the NE [North East] and N.W [North West] sides and

has been about 31'. It is now quite low in

Some 50 yds [yards] to the S. [South] is another cairn the
