It appears to have had two entrances one facing
the W [West] towards the entrance to the main circle
and the other towards the SE. [South East]. About 50 ft. [feet]
S.E. [South East] is a small circular depression about
7 ft. [feet] internal diameter with a low bank
about 6 ft. [feet] across on the E. and W. [East and West] and
a very slight bank on the N. [North]. Here I
met the shepherd who told me that there
are many hut circles in the hills about,
and innumerable cairns. A hill
called Cnoc na-Fhala (?spelling) i.e. Bloody
knowe about 1/2 mile E [East] of the Clach an Righ

is covered with cairns. The Clach-an-Righ
lies on a flat haugh beside the river. It is
the remains of a stone circle with a low

cairn in the centre. Of the stones of the
circle two only are upright standing almost
N. and S. [North and South] of each other and 21’.6” apart.
They both stand with their broad sides at right
angles to the line of the circumference.
On the W. [West] half of the circle three stones lie
prone and between the two upright stones the
head of another protrudes through the turf.
With its end against the E. [East] face of the S. [South] upright
lies a large stone on its edge its opposite end
lying a foot or so beyond the line of the circumference.
