There are two entrances, one on the E. [East] side
of indefinite width overlooking the steep
slope to the base of the hill and the other
on the W. [West] side
some 10 ft. [feet] wide from the direction of the other

and the ground also seems to have been

of the brae just where it merges

110 ft. [feet] and is surrounded by a mound of
