Stone III. — To the S.E. of No. II., flat, sloping very slightly to E. 

 Pitted surface. The human skeleton was found close to S.E. of this 

 stone ; in fact the left femur almost touched it. 



Stone IV. — A small stone to N.E. of No. III. Slopes rather consider- 

 ably towards S. ; only 2 inches above turf. 



Stones V., VI., and VII. — In a group; the nearest stones of the circle 

 to the S. causeway. A considerable depression in turf to S. of No. V. 

 At S. end this stone stands about 2 feet above average turf level, and it 

 slopes gradually to turf on N. The under-surface of stone at S. has been 

 much polished by the rubbing of sheep. No. VII. slopes towards N., 

 and is fractured in two places. At S. end it is about 1 foot from turf. 

 No. VI. is a fractured stone about 9 inches thick, which stands on end 

 between Nos. V. and VII., leaning slightly to W.

 frequent, and deep. 



Stone X. — Marked depression in turf at W. end of stone, which end is of 

 oblong form, 2 feet in thickness. This depression sinks to about 6 inches 

 below the surrounding turf level. The stone, which slopes towards the 

 N.E., is only 10 inches above turf on E. side. Upper surface, fairly flat; 

 characterised by a broad crack along middle, and what may be called a 

 " pot-hole " near N. corner. Turf grows between stone on N.W. Much
