5 is apparently a new mound started & abandoned at height of 4 ft. The passage ways between outer walls of circles are 40 ft. across = (#6.) & between circles no 1 & walls = (#7) 20 ft. wide. The circles are about 4 to 5 ft. below tops of surrounding ruined walls. The exits marked 11 across circles are cleared passage ways through walls on level with floor of circle and about 10 ft. wide. -

The starting point for measuring these is at passageway [[strikethrough]] opposite [[/strikethrough]] next to adjacent circle.

As a rule the walls appear 4 to 6 ft. thick but on SE. of middle circle as indicated are 5 chambers in the wall which is thickened there to some 12 ft. On next page is plan given of the arrangement of stones on upper surface of first chamber marked a. in plat.

The figures show no. of feet between the indicated points. The parallel lines & circles were formed apparently by a single line of [[strikethrough]] of [[/strikethrough]] stones.

A similar arrangement was seen on some of this but they were more overgrown & less easily accessible for measurement. At least 3 of the 5 chambers had these lines & circles in this pattern & probably all. From this point is a fine view for miles up & down the valley. The passage ways between 2 largest circles & small piles are beautifully smoothed especially the main one between two circles 40 ft wide which is perfectly straight with evenly levelled bottom & well marked sides.
