rising ground to the E [East] of Achork is a large
group of cairns at an elevation of about 650' to
700' feet. One is set against an outcrop of rock.
I observed only one hut circle almost immedi:
:ately E. [East] of the most Northerly house house in Achork
& about 200 yds. [yards] distant. It is of the common
type with the entrance from the SE. [South East] about
1'.8" across. The interior diameter is about
17' by 19' and the banks 4' to 5' across.
All along the hill side from about 1/2 m. [mile] E. [East] of Knock-
-Arthur for a considerable distance are cairns
and the remains of hut circles.
About 1/2 m. [mile] from Knock Arthur almost due
N. [North] of Farlary is a very well preserved
hut circle overgrown with heather.

[Sketch inserted here]

It is almost circular
with a diameter interiorly
of 31'. The entrance is
from the SE [South East] and the
banks, which are about
3'.6" high towards the interior
are about 14' thick. They
appear to be stony but there is a great
accumulation of soil over them. The
details of the entrance are not obtainable.
Many cairns lie near some almost contiguous.
