soil of which they seem to be formed has
been dug. In direction the greater number
of them lie N and S. [North and South] but some few E and W. [East and West].
In length they vary generally from 4' or 5'
to 15' or 16' though a very few are longer
one was 23' in length x 8' to 9' broad, another
20' x 11'. A great number of them are
about 11' long and the average breadth is
from 4' to 7' and height 1' to 2'.

At the SE. [South East] end of the SE [South East] portion of the
Market Park is a hut circle entering from
the SE. [South East] with interior diameter of 13' x 15'
through banks about 6' wide. A number
of cairns lie to the N. and NE. [North and North East] also a
Crescentic Mound similar to those
near Lairg. It faces the N. [North] with its
back to the higher slope of the hill. The mound
measures 25' between the points of the
crescent, has a concavity of 5', and
is 11' thick at centre. The ends are about
6' across & the mound 2'-3' high.
In the portion of the park where the market
is held are the remains of three hut circles
somewhat eroded with the remains of
Cairns lying near.
