above the old peat road is of the ordinary type
with the entrance from SSE. [South South East] dia. [diameter] across 33' the
bank at the back has been demolished so the length
is not obtainable. The thickness of the bank is about
8'.
About 60 yds [yards] NE. [North East] of the last is a stone built
structure, much ruined with walls on the interior
in places about 2' high, 5' thick and with
an entrance from SE. [South East]. In diameter it measures
about 31' across by 32'.8" in length from the entrance.
Six feet to the S. [South] of the entrance in the interior a wall,
7' across where it joins the circumference and
diminishing to 5' about the middle of its length,
curves round towards the NW. [North West] enclosing
an oval chamber running N & S [North & South] measuring about 21' x 12' &
entered between the end of the division wall and
the back of the circle by a passage or entrance
about 2'.6" wide. The wall on either side of
the main entrance has been about 9' in
thickness and the passage 3'.6" wide at 8'
from the interior and at its inner end passes
between stones forming the portals 1'.9" apart.
The original entrance to the interior appears
to have been wider and to have been built up.
(A number of Cairns lie all around and
quite near.) Some 5' or 6' from the S. [South]
