and about 1/4 (?) m [mile] above the road are two large
cairns. The most Easterly is circular with
a diameter of about 50' and height of about 6'.
It has been pulled about considerably in
the centre but no cist has been exposed. There
is no indication of a chamber.
About 50 yds [yards] SE [South East] is No. 2. It also has been
to a certain extent pulled about and some
large flat slabs lying about the centre may
indicate a chambered character. Towards
the NE and SW [North East and South West], and SE and NW [South East and North West], are distinct
projections but whether these are structural or
not could only be determined by excavation.
The projections are from 6' to 8' in length. The
diameter of the cairn between these horns
is about 40' and along them about 54'.
The height of the cairn is about 4'.6" (photographed.)
Some 180 yds [yards] E [East] is a smaller cairn which has
been considerably dilapidated on SE. [South East].
Diameter from N. to S. [North to South] 41' from E to W. [East to West] 44':
height about 4'. Numerous small
cairns lie along the hill side below these.
Abt. [About] 1/4 SSE [South South East] of the last is a low cairn of
about 21' diameter & 3' high, formed entirely of
stone.
