at Dirlot on a rounded heatherclad knoll
is a setting of stone rows. The setting appears
to consist of some [--] rows presenting the usual
characteristics the stones being set with their
flat faces looking across the rows. Most of
the stones merely protrude from 6" to 8" and are
about 1' in breadth except at the outer termination
where they appear to have been larger the largest stone being 2' high and 2'.4" broad. They
are somewhat irregularly placed some 3' to 5'
distant from each other in the rows and the rows
6' to 7' apart. On the crest of the hillock
are two low mounds or cairns from which
the rows appear to radiate. The most Norther:
:ly of the cairns has a diameter of about 14'
and a slight elevation, while the other situated
near the centre of the base of the rows, measures
about 19' in diameter and 1 1/2' in elevation.
Some 20' to the SE [South East] of this cairn in the line
of the rows is another slight elevation measuring
some 5' in diameter. The knoll has
an elevation of some 12' and the rows
run from the crest to the base in an
approximate ESE [East South East] and WNW. [West North West] direction. At
base the setting measures some 85' across
and at its outer termination about 160'. The
length of the rows has been about 106'.
