group of cairns, hut circles &c. About 50 yds [yards]

[Margin] Unnoted.

from the burn N. [North] of the broch is an irregular
cairn about 44 ft. [feet] in length from E. to W. [East to West].
It appears to be formed of 3 separate cairns
in different alignment [Sketch inserted here.] The first portion at
the W. [West] end 7’ long, the middle portion 21 ft. [feet] long and
the last 16’ long. The last is less well defined
& near its junction with the middle portion
are some very large boulders. About 40 yds [yards]
W. [West] of the last cairn is a hut circle of usual type
with a dia. [diameter] of about 34 ft. [feet]. Close beside it to
the N. [North] is a cairn of a very definite S shape
about 3 ft. [feet] in height & measuring along its outline
111 ft. [feet]. Some distance to the N. [North] of this are two
large contiguous circles which have
been hollowed out to a lower level than the
adjacent ground. They are bounded on
both sides by great heaps of stone and
are divided by the remains of a stone wall
6 ft [feet] across. The South circle is 42 ft. [feet] in dia. [diameter]
from N. to S. [North to South] and measures 17’ feet across the entrance
at the S. [South]. The N. [North] circle is 38’ in dia. [diameter] & 22 ft. [feet]
across the entrance. The bank or cairn on
the W. [West] side of the S. [South] circle is 23 ft. [feet] across & about
6 ft [feet] high at highest point & of less extent & lower
on the E [East] side while the E [East] bank of the N. [North] circle
