are still remaining a number of large upright
slabs set on their edge appearing to form parts
of five or six different rows set parallel at
about 5’ from each other. The longest slab
is 7’.3” in length, some of them have been broken
and merely protrude above the ground. The
condition of the monument, unfortunately
renders the planning of it useless. It is
impossible to say whether the ring of
stones which remains to mark the outer
limits has been constructed or not.

? Stone Circle Remains Shurrery (Unnoted)
About 120 yds. [yards] S. [South] of the church at Shurrery
are two pointed stones set on end, the
Eastmost measuring 3’.6” in breadth at base, 2’.2” in
height and 1’ in thickness and the other 3’.2”
in breadth, 2’ in height. They stand 11’.4” apart
at slightly divergent angles and appear to
have formed part of a stone circle. The
ground in front where the rest of the
circle would have stood has been dug
for peats. Both stones stand with their
faces in line of the presumed circumference.

Footmark Port an eilein (Unnoted)
On the W [West] end of the summit of the hill of Port
-an-eilein about 1/2 to 3/4 m. [mile] NE. [North East] of Shurrery
church is a flat exposed rock surface
measuring some 10’ square
