been simply eradicated for the sake of its
stones a mere line along each side only
being left. At the SSW [South South West] end the existence
of the horns is apparent but as they are
entirely overgrown their exact dimensions are
not accurately obtainable without excavation.
The distance between what appears to be
their outer points is 45’ and the length
thence to the centre of that end of the cairn is
28’. At the NNW. [North North West] end the horns are not
evident. The total length of the cairn
is some 200’. Its breadth at the NNW [North North West] end
54’ and across the body at the SSE [South South East] end
30’. The elevation at the former end is about 10.’
A slight circular depression about 8’ in
diameter at the high end probably indicates
the position of the chamber. On the
W. [West] side towards the S. [South] end the outer
constructional wall is still quite evident.
Some 60’ from the SSE [South South East] end a large upright
slab standing at right angles to the main
axis possibly indicates the site of a
chamber.

Fort Brawlbin (4)

rises from the moor of Brawlbin about 3/4 m. [mile]
SSE. [South South East] of Shurrery church is a prehistoric fort.
