Chang. (11a)
In a grass field about 1/4 m. [mile] N by E. [North by East] of the house
at Chang on the SE. [South East] slope of Bennan Hill and
just above the 200’ contour line are the remains
of a stone built defensive construction elliptical
in outline. The site is not in a commanding
position and is overlooked by the higher slope on
the W. [West]. The longer axis lies N & S. [North & South] and along
this line the interior measures 110’ while from
E To W. [East to West] it measures 72’. The original enclosing
wall or stony bank is much spread. Along
the E. [East] side it measures 25’ in width and appears
to have contained an oblong enclosure now for the
most part covered with gathered stones; on the
S. [South] its width varies from 22’ to 24’ but it is
overgrown with turf & overlaid with stones:
on the W. [West] where it is overlooked by higher ground
the width is 29’. At the N. [North] end the defence
is 40’ in width and contains an oblong
enclosure at either side measuring some 40’
in length by 20’ in breadth. The position
of the entrance is indefinite but it has probably
been in the centre of the N. [North] end. In
the interior are two cairn like heaps of stone
measuring some 22’ in diameter of doubt:
:ful character. The enclosure has been
cultivated
