are the indefinite remains of some early
structures and also two or three cairn-like
mounds.

Glenwhan Moor (23) Hut Circle.
On the moor about 1/2 m. [mile] N. [North] of Baraigle Wood
and at the N. [North] end of a broad ridge on which
are the remains of crofts is a small oval enclosure
measuring interiorly 9' x 6' surrounded by a
bank of stone and turf 4'.6" in thickness and
now of low elevation. The entrance appears to
have been from the SE. [South East]. A number of small
cairns lie to the S. [South] and E. [East] the nearest being
only 10' distant from the circle. The largest
cairn of the group measures 13' in diameter
and 2' in height. Some 30' NW. [North West] of the
hut circle above described is another much
worn away but with the outline of the wall still
traceable. Interiorly it has measured 7' x 9' and
has been entered from the SW. [South West]. To the E. [East]
of the hut circle lie some six small cairns.

Hut ruins &c
Hut ruins &c
About 1/2 m. [mile] E. [East] of Baraigle plantation and some
80 yds. [yards] N [North] of the stone dyke which divides the
moorland is a group of six or eight
small cairn-like mounds overgrown
with heather. Towards the E [East] end of the
group is a heap of stones against the slope
of a bank which probably marks the ruins
