stone building with a diameter over all of
from 10' to 12'. The stones have fallen inwards
& lie in concentric rings over the interior suggesting
that it was a bee-hive building

[Sketch inserted]

The bank or wall of the
main enclosure is
some 8' in width but
widens out towards
the entrance so as
form a passage 20'
in length which has
been largely built of
stone. The walls on
the sides are still
in places about 3' high and the amount
of stone lying in and about it shows
that originally the height of the building
must have been considerable. In the
interior the width of the passage is 3'.4".
at 8' outwards are two door checks 3' apart
within them the passage has expanded
to 4'.8" and beyond to the exterior it main:
:tains a width of 3'. (Photo.) This is the
only hut circle in which I have observed
the passage so constructed. It is
singularly like the entrance to a broch. Ent. [Entrance] is from SE. [South East].
