the construction is difficult to expiscate.
Along the edge of the elevated ground on the NE. [North East]
runs an old bank but its defensive character is
doubtful.

Hut circle (unnoted)
Some 100' S.W. [South West] of the foregoing are the remains
of a large hut circle. The bank at the NW [North West]
has been worn away but the construction
appears to have been oval measuring some
30' in length and to have been cut in two by
a bank laid from side to side with a
concave outline towards the entrance and
enclosing with the sides of the main enclosure an area, circular in form, with a
diameter of 19'. The entrance has been
from the SSE. [South South East] and the bank 7' in thickness.
Some 15' to the NE [North East] lies a smaller circle
with a diameter of 14' and a bank 7' to 8'
in thickness. The entrance seems to have
been from the S. [South].

Stone Rows (unnoted)
On a low ridge running N and S. [ North and South] some 300
yds. [yards] WSW. [West South West] of Watenan Farm are the remains
of several rows of stones which appear to have
radiated from the N [North] in a Southerly direction no cairn is now visible
in connection with them. The stones have
been much disturbed but there appear to
have been four rows. The greatest length
from the most Northerly to the most Southerly
