of about 14' and surrounded by the remains
of an encircling wall about 6' thick. Attached
to it on the W. [West] there appear to be the ruins of a
small chamber. Some 30 yds. [yards] NW. [North West] is a
cairn like mound, overgrown with heather
about 16' in diameter and 3' high. Proceeding
N [North] along the haugh are from 15 to 20 more
mounds, two of them rather larger than the
rest are situated within 20 yds. [yards] of each other,
and measure some 20' in diameter and
3' in height. While some of these present
the features of the ordinary small cairns
two or three at the N [North] end of the group
have the appearance of having been excavated
in the centre but there is no trace of the
excavated stones around. At the
extreme N [North] end is a small enclosure with
an entrance from the E. [East]

measuring over all some
29' from N to S [North to South] x 27' from E to W. [East to West].
From the entrance two passages
pass respectively to right and left
leading into small circular
chambers 8' and 5' in interior diameter
separated from each other by a foundation from 3' to 5' across projecting from the back wall.
In the thickness of the wall at the back are
two almost contiguous hollows 2' in diameter.
