These buildings resemble in plan the sheiling
bothies of the northern counties and I do not
consider them of any great antiquity. The fact
that they are occasionally found divided by
a cross wall into two apartments strengthens
my view.
Northwards up the W. [West] side of the glen down
which the streamlet flows towards Clasherne
are the ruins of several small circular huts
and a few cairn like heaps similar to those on
the Bught Fell.

Hut Circle Larig Fell (unnoted)
Towards the S. [South] end of Larig Fell & on the W. [West] side of the ridge at an ele:
:vation of some 50' above the flow is
a hut circle with an interior diameter of
21' surrounded by a wall, reduced to its
foundation, 5' in thickness and formed
with large stones on the exterior packed
with small pieces in the centre.

Bught Fell. ("Ring" 9)
Near the edge of the cultivated land about
1/4 m. [mile] WSW. [West South West] of Garvilland is a circular
enclosure with an interior diameter of
29' surrounded by the foundation of a
wall measuring 5' in thickness. The
entrance appears to have been from the SE. [South East].
Against it and partially over its
foundation on the NNW. [North North West] has been built
