22' to the SW another, parallel, protrudes to a height of 7" with
a breadth of 1'.11" - and At 37' is another visible to the same
height and with a breadth of 2'.2". While 12'.10"
beyond it again is a fourth slab 1'.3" high above
ground 3'.10" in breadth and 1'.3" in thickness.
On the opposite side of the oval at 87' distant from
this last stone & to the SE. [South East] is a single slab set facing
in the same direction. 3'.8" in breadth, 1'.9" in height
above ground and 10" in thickness. At the SW. [South West]
end of the monument [--] ft. [feet] distant from the
first stone stands another tall pillar - 6'.11" in height,
2'.3" in breadth and 1'.9" in thickness. The ground
in the centre has been dug to some extent for peats.
At one or two points small heaps of stones or hollows
seem to indicate the positions of slabs which have
been removed while the existence of others in situ
may be observed by probing. The total
length of the monument has been some [--] ft. [feet]
and its width 87'.
