It does not lie quite in a straight line. These
do not seem to be cairns that have been
connected by delapidation. The outline is
too regular and continuous. A dozen or
more cairns of the usual type lie around
none of them ruined. About half a mile
further on, on the top of a bank about 100 ft. [feet]
above the river a somewhat similar construc:
:tion is observable but it continued down the
slope of the bank to the N. [North] and curved round
in such a way as to suggest a ruined wall!
There are certain measurements of it in my notebook.
A short distance further on on the N. [North] side of the
burn that flows into the river opposite Ceann-na-
-Coille are a hut circle of the usual character
& more cairns. Half a mile to the S. [South] and about
the same distance E [East] of the river within an
ancient enclosure the ruined wall of which
is partially visible at the S.W. [South West] corner are
some 15 cairns of the usual type and a
hut circle. The latter is of the usual oval
form measuring 25 ft. [feet] from N to S. [North to South] towards
the entrance and 20 ft. [feet] across It is peculiar

side of the entrance another small circle
measuring 7’ x 8’ with walls about 2 1/2 ft. [feet] broad
