Some 150 yds [yards] SSE [South South East] of the above is another
well defined hut circle. It is oval in plan
and measures interiorly some 23' x 26'. The
entrance is from the E [East] and seems to have been
about 2'.6" wide. The enclosing bank or
wall has been built with stones and
peat and is in places 2'-3' in height. The
building has been exposed in one or two places
otherwise it is overgrown with turf & heather. ^ [caret mark]

Some 40' to the W. [West] are the remains of a small
mound or cairn, which has been excavated.
It measures some 20' in diameter.

Hill some 3/4 m. [mile] S. [South] of South Yarrows. It
is chambered with a diameter of some
