large one well preserved enclosed by a bank about
10' wide 4'.6" high. The diameter 34' x 37'; the entrance
from SE. [South East] about 7' across. A few cairns lie
near, and Westward they stretch along the hill face
above the strath for a considerable distance.
Among them are remains of old walls & enclosures.

road about 1/4 m. [mile] W. [West] of the bridge over the Allt Breac

or diameter of which is about 66' and the radius 25'.

of several cairns and on the moor on the top of
