the hill so as to contain on the lower side a

5' in thickness. Some 80' to the North:
:ward of the circle and outside the upper wall
is a semicircular stone built construction,
probably a sheep shelter, open towards the S. [South]
with a chord of 22' formed by a wall 5' in thickness
and still 2' in height. This construction

was obscure. Another heap of loose
