or 5ft. high, in order to raise it to the level of the south half. 

 This wall is 7ft. thick. The doorwaj is on the east, but does 

 not admit of accurate measurement, though it seems to have been 

 5^ft wide. It is paved as well as a small space outside of it, and 

 nearly a quarter of the circle inside next the door. There is a 

 step, 6 inches deep, from the doorway down to the floor of the 

 circle. 



The next structure is so indistinct that the plan of it cannot 

 be made out. It seems to be rectangular rather than circular. 



The next is a rectangular foundation, 10ft. from east to west, 

 and at least 12 from north to south. There is a doorway, which 

 may have been from 3 to 4ft. wide, near the east end of the 

 north side. There is no pavement. The wall exists on the 

 north side, and for the length of 1 or 1 2ft. on the east and west 

 sides, but does not remain on the south side. 



The farthest west of these four structures is a circle from 20 

 to 2 1 feet diameter. The south half is cut into the slope of the 

 ground. The north half is supported by a face wall, with the 

 material which has been dug out of the south half apparently 

 filled in behind it. The door is as in all the other circles to the 

 east, but it is too incomplete to admit of its width being ascer- 

 tained. Nearly half of the circle is paved, as well as the door- 

 way, and a path 12 feet long by 6 feet broad leading from the 

 doorway down a steep slope. 



In the extreme north-east corner of the outer rampart is a very 

 distinct circle from 16 to 18 feet diameter, but on its being dug 

 into no wall or building was found. There is also the appear- 

 ance of another but somewhat smaller circle, 30 feet to the south 

 of the largest of the subsidiary structures, but on being dug 

 into, it too showed no remains of building. 



There does not now remain in any of these subsidiary struc- 

 tures what is properly a built wall, unless it be the retaining or 

 supporting wall of the eastmost of the four, which are situated 

 between the ramparts. What has been called walls in the fore- 

 going description is only a row of single stones on each side of a 

 narrow mound, which is composed of earth and smaller stones ; 

 and in none of them is there any remains of actual building on 

 the top of this rude foundation, nor is there debris to show that 

 building of any extent had ever existed.
