foundations of a small circular enclosure
with an interior diameter of about 10', and an
entrance to the NW. [North West] about 6'.6" wide. The wall seems
to have been built of material pillaged from the cairn
Its width is not ascertainable.
At the upper end of the ridge on its Northern slope and
about 1 m [mile] SSW. [South South West] of Blarich is a hut circle of the
usual type with its entrance from the SE. [South East]. It is
overgrown with heather and its outline is indefin:
:ite. Some 40 yds. [yards] W [West] of it is a low circular mound meas:
:uring about 22' over all with a circular depression
of about 6' diameter in the centre entering from
the N.W. [North West]. At the lower or N. [North] end of the
ridge, near Rossal on the E. [East] bank of the Achnael
burn are the remains of several hut circles.
One is almost circular measuring 27' x 28'
towards the entrance which is from the SE. [South East].
The bank is about 6'.6" wide and is much eroded.
There appears to have been little stone in it.
To the NW. [North West] lie two others apparently contiguous
entering from the SE. [South East] but too indefinite to measure.
The slight remains of hut circles in the banks of

-existence in certain groups of small cairns.
