One enclosure, the bounding walls of which are
less indefinite than is usually the case, measures
about 100’ from side to side of the hollow and
93’ or thereby between the walls which cross it.
It contains three undoubted hut ruins : two
circular with interior diameters of about 5’, and
the other oval, measuring interiorly 5’ x 7’. The
latter situated in the SW. [South West] corner of the enclosure appears to have been entered from the N. [North]
and to have been surrounded by a wall 3’ in thickness.
The W. [West], or upper wall of the enclosure, is built
against its SW. [South West] point and passes directly outwards
for a distance of about 5’ before returning to
cross the hollow in a general northerly direction.
Two large blocks, 3’ apart at 26’ along the wall seem
to mark the entrance to the compound. On the
N. [North] side against the side of the hollow is a cairn-
-like heap of stones measuring 25’ in length by
20’ in breadth with its longest axis E and W. [East and West]
and about 3’ in elevation.
Towards the SW. [South West] where the surface of the
moor is less broken up by hillocks and hollows

appear to have been enclosed. These huts
are now heaps of stone
rising little in elevation above ground level
but usually showing a depression with
