at the W [West] side of Loch Robin, and on its N. [North]
face are two small circular bowl shaped
hollows measuring in diameter across
the top 6' & 8' respectively and 1' - 1'.6" in depth.
These may have been pit dwellings. At the
extreme E. [East] end of the hillock is a small cairn
-like mound measuring about 8' in diameter.

Hut ruins Craigenveoch Fell. (10)
On the NE. [North East] face of Craigenveoch Fell looking
towards Dirnean Fell in a hollow is

are situated for the most part at the
sides of the hollow. In structure they

than those usually observed and appear
themselves to have been larger. One ruin
on the S. [South] side near the top of the hollow
measures 16' x 14' over all and from the
spaces in it, it appears to have contained
two chambers. At the NW. [North West] upper end
there occurs formed by the outcropping rock
a small semicircular recess some 20' broad
closed across the opening by the ruins of a hut
