breadth gradually merging into the slope of
the hillock on the N., [North] and evidently resting

of a small oblong structure with rounded
ends, of the dimensions of the huts found
on the sheilings. Elsewhere on the mound
are other remains which appear to be those

or sub-oval mote hill. It has its longest axis
N. [North] & S. [South] and measures on its summit 87 in length by 48' in
breadth. There is no parapet mound but
there is a slight ridge along the E [East] side for
2/3 of the length from the S. [South] end with a right
angled return towards the centre which seems

the glen. When it existed on the N [North] & N E [North East]
