broken down and another from the E. [East] or seaward. The latter
is through a passage 15'.3" in length 3'.8" in
width at the exterior end and 4'.4" at the interior.
There has been a guard chamber on the left at
about 6'.4" from the outer end the entrance to
which is broken down. There are no signs of
door checks but a sill projects from the floor
of the passage opposite the outer edge of the entrance
to the guard chamber. At 5' back from the
right wall of the entrance passage near the
middle of its length is the back wall of a
chamber 4'.6" wide now of indefinite length.
In it were found two ingots of bronze 4" and 6" in length - several moulds for casting
ingots, a bronze pin, and two links of a
slender chain of bronze. The interior diameter
is 22ft. There are remains of outbuildings
on both sides, but those on the landward
are more extensive & better preserved and seem
to have been continuous with chambers / remains now
cut off by a narrow ravine on the N. [North]
One of the chambers has a tank- like
construction of slabs in the floor and off
the chamber is a recess 9' in length by 6' in
width.
