13' x 9' and apparently entered from the
main circle. The thickness of the wall &c. is
not very apparent.
Some 30 yds. [yards] N.W. [North West] are the remains of a
small construction of 2 or 3 conjoined
circles entirely overgrown with heather
and nearby several small cairn-like
Mounds and others again to the N [North]
of from 18' to 20' diameter.
About 1/2 m. [mile] SW. [South West] of Strathy Parish Church
and somewhat less to the W. [West] of the river
on the N. [North] side of a small ravine and
between it and an old feal dyke is a
circle of upright & almost contiguous boulders 9'.6" in diameter
On the N and NE. [North and North East] are the remains
[Sketch inserted]
of an outer and nearly parallel
row - not so closely set some 5'-8' distant. On the S. [South]
side of the circle is a mound about
10' long, 5' across and 2' high which may
be the remains of the original bank. To the
NE. [North East] at 7' distant is a mound or small
cairn about 9' in diameter. This construction
appears to be the remains of a dwelling and
resembles the circle of stones on the ? Ant Sron
near Lairg and also near Cnoc Arthur in
Rogart.
