court yard. This court, as well as most of the circle itself, is well 

 paved. 



Twenty-five feet east of this circle is another but smaller 

 circular foundation. It is 32ft. in diameter. It is mostly cut 

 into the slope of the ground ; but on the north side, where the 

 wall of it is on the level of the surface, it is nearly 7ft. thick. 

 The door is to the east, but only one side of it is perfect, so that 

 its width cannot be ascertained. About half of the circle next 

 the door is paved. 



About 40ft. south of the last is another and a smaller circle. 

 It is 17ft. in diameter." It also is cut into the slope of the hill 

 on its south side, and the wall on the north is not sufl&ciently 

 perfect to admit of measurement. The door can be seen on the 

 east side, but its exact width cannot be measured. The eastern 

 half of the circle is paved. 



Still further south, and about 25ft. from the preceding, is 

 another circle of 16ft. diameter. Being on steep ground on the side 

 of the innermost rampart, it is almost wholly cut into the slope 

 of the hill ; but notwithstanding of this the floor has still a con- 

 siderable slope on it. On the north-east, where it is not sunk 

 into the ground, the wall is 6ft. thick. The door is to the east, 

 and is 5 feet wide, but it is doubtful if the sides of it are entire. 

 The doorway and about a quarter of the circle next to it are 

 paved. 



On the north side of the entrance, and almost touching the 

 north wall of that entrance just before it contracts to the 7ft. 

 doorway before described, is a circle between 19 and 20ft. 

 diameter. The south half of it is sunk into the slope of the hiU, 

 and the wall on the north half is 3^ feet thick. The door is on 

 the east side, and appears to be about 5 feet wide, but one side 

 of it is indistinct. The stones on both the inside and outside 

 corners of the side that remains are 2Jft. by 2ft. by 1ft. The 

 doorway is paved, as also is about a quarter of the circle next 

 it. 



To the north of this last, and situated between the two ram- 

 parts, which here diverge considerably, are four structures in a 

 row, within 10 or 12 feet of each other. The eastmost of them 

 is a circle of 17 feet diameter. The ground slopes steeply to the 

 north, and while the south half of the circle is cut into the hill, 

 the north haK is supported by a wall, which must have been 4
