[Margin] Unnoted

On the hill to the NE [North East] beginning about
200 yds [yards] NE [North East] of the broch is a group of cairns
some of these, especially those high up on the
hill are larger than usual and resemble
those near Sciberscross. Among them
run the remains of old enclosures banks
and other signs of occupancy of the ground.
On the lower slope of the hill towards the SE [South East]
of the group on a natural terrace is a
large hut circle of indefinite detail. Some
100 yds. [yards] NE [North East] of it is another showing the remains

[Sketch inserted here]

of much stone work in
its construction. It has an
interior diameter of
about 36'. The entrance
is from the SE. [South East] through
a passage 11' long and
2'6" wide. At the back of
the interior is a smaller oval
enclosure measuring 20' x 22' with a wall 3'6"
in thickness and an entrance opposite the main
entrance 2' wide. At one side of this entrance
the wall curves inwards for a distance of 7'.
The wall of the main enclosure is about
5' thick widening towards the entrance on either
side.
