score in number. They measure from 15' to 20'
in diameter and 2' to 3' in elevation. Some have
been excavated but no cists are exposed.
On the E. [East] side of the road near the upper end
of the group is a hut circle the bank of which
is much broken down. Interiorly it has
measured some 18' by 22'and has been sur:
:rounded by a bank or wall 4' to 5' in thickness.
The entrance has been from the SSE. [South South East] and two
large stones placed with their broad faces parallel
still mark its position. These stones are about
1'.10" apart; 1'.2" high and 1'.4" in length.
A single stone laid between them forms a sill.
Some 40 yds. [yards] S. [South] are the indistinct remains
of another hut circle which has been partially
destroyed by the road and some 200 yds [yards]
further on the partial outline of another is
visible which has a diameter of some
24'. These are the first as:
:sociated mounds and hut circles I have
seen in the county. The mounds seem
identical in construction with those
of Sutherland and the hut circles are
of the simple form.
