It consists of two conjoined circles lying N. [North]
& S. [South] of each other with separate entrances.
The Southmost circle is enclosed by a
wall built of large stones, some 2' in height
and 4'.4" in thickness. On the outside it
appears to have been banked up with
soil. The entrance is from E by S. [East by South] through
a passage 6' in length, 2'.6" in width at
the exterior and 3'.10" at the inner end.
At 4' from the outside a rebate on either
side of some 9" forms a check for a door.
The checks are faced with thin slabs
set edgeways into the side walls. The
width of the passage immediately outside
the checks is 2'.3". Within the circle
has an interior diameter of 29'. At
3' inwards from the face of the wall
occur at intervals of from 6' to 8'
upright stones standing to a height of about 3'
measuring about 1'.6" in breadth by 8"
in thickness or thereby, set edge on to
the centre of the circle. With their
distal end on the outer wall and
their other termination on these upright
pillars, have been placed large slabs
some 6' in length, 2' - 3' at greatest
