than that of the hut circle and 2' to 3' below that
of the surrounding ground which slopes
in its direction. The sides have been built. The
roof has entirely disappeared. The width of the
entrance passage is indefinite. From the
lower end of this chamber on the outside an old
wall passes down the hill. Some
